TEAR Australia pioneered the idea of buying 'development gifts' to assist people struggling with poverty, producing our first catalogue in 1994. Every gift is part of a long-term program designed to give people the resources they need to help change their lives.

TEAR works in partnership with Christian groups in poor and marginalised communities around the world. Inspired by Jesus' example, they care for those whom society often neglects or ignores. Priority is given to activities that are sustainable, and that strive to fully involve the poorest and most exploited, regardless of religious or political beliefs.

Founded in 1971, TEAR Australia is fully accredited with AusAID, the Australian Government's international aid program, and is a signatory to the Australian Council for International Development Code of Conduct.
