Leader. Entrepreneur. Changemaker.

Three words that describe Tarsini today. But it hasn’t always been this way.

For years, Tarsini lived in extreme poverty, having to borrow from moneylenders in her Indonesian village to support her family. But the interest rate was high and her family was trapped in constant debt.  

Through the generosity of Caritas Australia supporters like you, Tarsini was able to turn her life around. She now uses her newfound skills to help other women in her community.
