Adara Development (Australia)

At Adara, we believe that each and every person should have access to quality health, education and other essential services, no matter where they live. Adara Development has expertise in Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (MNCH) and Remote Community Development (RCD). Adara has worked in Nepal and Uganda since 1998. In 2024, we reached more than 70,000 people and countless more through our influence, networks and knowledge sharing. To bring our vision to life in our MNCH stream of work, we deliver high quality healthcare to women, newborns and child health at health facilities, in the community and at home. By upskilling health workers, equipping facilities and strengthening the health system, we aim to reduce preventable maternal and newborn deaths. In our RCD work, we deliver programmes that improve outcomes in remote areas. This work targets five pillars of service delivery: education, child protection, youth development, health, and community resilience. Together they support people particularly women and children to truly thrive.
