The Full Story

Australian Good Samaritan is a registered charity dedicated to changing lives with compassion, dignity, and transparency. Founded by Father Arsanios Saleb in 2009, we are committed to supporting people facing hardship in both Australia and Egypt.

Since 2018, donations made to our charity—including overseas gifts—are tax deductible. And here's our promise: 100% of every donation goes directly to the people who need it most. No admin fees. No deductions. Just pure generosity in action.

Our Mission

Rooted in Proverbs 19:17: "Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward them for what they have done," our mission is to serve those in need with kindness that transcends borders. We believe that every human being, regardless of background or circumstance, deserves compassion, opportunity, and dignity. Through meaningful outreach, we aim to restore hope and provide tangible assistance to individuals and families in crisis.

How Can we Help

​

With your support, we are able to:

• Provide urgent medical assistance to those who are unable to afford treatment. This includes surgery costs, medication, and rehabilitation.

• Cover education fees so that children and youth can continue their schooling without interruption.

• Pay rent and utility bills for families at risk of eviction or disconnection.

• Support newly arrived individuals and families in Australia as they transition into their new life.

• Assist with marriage-related costs for those in need of help starting a new chapter.

• Deliver aid to vulnerable communities in Egypt, including food, clothing, and medical supplies.

Your generosity helps us serve people in moments when they feel most alone. You are the reason we can respond with love and action.

Why We’re Different

What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to integrity. We do not deduct administrative or operational costs from your donations. Every dollar you give goes directly to someone in need. We rely on volunteers and external funding for overhead, ensuring your contribution has the greatest possible impact. It’s this 100% donation model that has earned us the trust of supporters around the world.
