History of ECWA

EASTERN CHRISTIAN WELFARE AUSTRALIA (ECWA) saw the need to bring together all of the middle eastern Christian religions in Australia in 2014 in response to the escalation of the Syrian and Iraqi refugee crisis.   This ongoing crisis, which has  disturbed the lives of millions of innocent people has been described  by the United Nations and the NGO’s as the largest humanitarian crisis since World War II.

In a bid to provide a unified support  and raise awareness of the plight of these innocent refugees, especially  the most vulnerable amongst them (children, women and elderly).  Eleven Middle Eastern Churches in Australia came together and established ECWA on 17/01/2014.
