About Results Australia

We are a community of empowered everyday people and we use our collective voice to help end global poverty.

Right now, as many as 150 million people are living in extreme poverty (less than $1.9 a day) while close to a quarter of the world’s population lives below $3.20 a day.

To solve this global problem, we need to work together for a global solution. That is why we work with empowered everyday people, field experts, other like-minded organisations and decision-makers. Together, we are creating a world where everyone can go to school, eat nutritious food and live freely from deadly disease.
