About us
Grace Ministries Overseas Aid is a not-for-profit, non-Government, Australian Christian Overseas Aid Organisation.
Who we are
Working among children in Southern India, we endeavour to take a holistic approach so that children may develop to their potential in all areas, in the hope of benefitting their families and villages.
GMOA aims to assist developing countries. It is a ministry to the poor and disadvantaged. Aid is in the form of child support within community centres and the provision of tuition for children to promote the advancement of their education, family support and poverty relief.
GMOA relies on sponsors to fund projects, ensuring all monies donated for overseas support are used for the purpose given. The total sum for each sponsorship and/or gift is sent to India — no administration costs are deducted.
Our mission
Transforming and empowering the lives of impoverished children through education and holistic care.
Our vision
Transforming lives, families and villages through the love of God in South India.
These are our values that we operate on
In loving memory

Serving God With Compassion And Love In Practical Ways.
All our board members are volunteers, seeking to serve and show godly compassion and love in practical ways. Our desire is for GMOA to bring not only temporal aid and relief, but to make an ongoing difference in the lives of the poor and disadvantaged in India. Our desire is for the people of India to have life and hope.

Sponsoring a child in one of our projects gives you the privilege of following that child throughout their education.
Our Partners
Christian Missions Charitable Trust (CMCT) was founded in 1964 by Dr. Colleen Reddit. Spurred by the words of Proverbs 29:18 — where there is no vision, the people perish — Dr. Colleen was stirred to help vulnerable young women become financially independent and self-reliant. Over the years, CMCT has expanded into a full-fledged charitable organization, impacting thousands of lives.
Our Accountability
GMOA is an accredited, registered charity. GMOA accounts are audited annually and submitted as required to the appropriate NSW Government department. We report annually to ACNC (Australian Charities & Not-for-Profit Commission) and have a policy of openness and transparency with both our sponsors and partners.
Monthly financial project reports are received from India, detailing how funds sent from Australia have been utilised. Regular visits to India are carried out by board members in order to visit our projects and ensure donated funds are being used for the purposes for which they are given.
