Last few months, we have seen this beautiful country battling against disastrous and unprecedented weather conditions along with the heart-breaking losses of lives, land, livestock & wildlife. In spite of inconsolable human grief, we have seen our people remaining resilient in the face of adversity.

Communities across Australia continued to reel under the devastation struck by massive bushfires, sweltering under record temperatures and experiencing severe drought.

The scale of crisis that we are looking at, is massive. It is unlike anything we have ever seen before. We have lost many lives, numerous homes have been destroyed leading to mass evacuations and displaced families, millions of hectares of land are completely scorched. 

The bush, forests and national parks are still burning away, countless animals have perished, many that are injured need adequate care to further survive. The gravity of impact on our wildlife habitat, the flora and fauna and the environment are those that needs to be addressed with utmost seriousness and effective measures and actions going forward.



As a socially conscious and responsible organisation, we at Ozindcare, at this time of crisis are supporting the local communities and this magnificent land through a few selected endeavours. 

# Supporting our Volunteer firefighters (NSW Rural Fire Service) 

One of world’s largest volunteer fire fighting organisation, the NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) is one that approximately 95% of NSW rely on, for fire and emergency services. The amazing work that RFS volunteers have been doing during our bushfires in constantly ensuring safety, support, and peace of mind to the community is indeed commendable. 

So, there is no surprise that we have chosen to support this World class team who have been the frontrunners in this troubled Bushfire season in keeping our people and communities safe. 

In many regional areas of Australia, drought has been a recurring occurrence for the last few years. Rural communities have stayed resilient and managed to hold up through intense drought thus far. However, the situation unfortunately has only gotten worser this year.

Farmers - cattle - crops - older folk - families, the struggles they have had to face has been enormous. And our contribution to GIVIT is to do our bit in helping such affected communities.

Bushfire has displaced many Australian families, the stress they have all had to endure in evacuating to safer facilities, whilst also knowing that their homes were at risk or in few other cases have got completely destroyed, is very scary and unsettling. 



As part of doing what we can for such families, we contributed to Vinnies so that food can be provided to 5 such families who have been evacuated from their homes. 

# Emergency care and medicine for injured koalas affected by bushfires (WWF Australia)

Bushfires have taken the nests and homes of our birds and animals away; they have been exposed to the worst fires and many Koalas in the wild have got badly injured. WWF Australia had embarked on providing emergency care and medicine to these beautiful creatures.

# Helping restore forest and wildlife habitat and future proofing the environment for our children by contributing to plant 25 trees (WWF Australia) 

With the devastation that Bushfires have caused, there is so much work we all ought to do in restoring forests and recreating wildlife habitat so that we can protect and pass on to future generations an environment that is safe, reliable, green, blessed and beautiful. A better world to live in, is an aspiration most of us carry for our children. 

Towards this dream, we contributed to WWF Australia and that helped enable planting of 25 trees!
