About
We are dedicated to supporting communities in need around the globe.
Our Organisation
Echo Nation was founded in 2012 by a group of young friends from Melbourne, who’s travels through South East Asia bought them to the Sangkhlaburi District in North West Thailand. There they discovered a vast population of displaced people from nearby Burma, with little or no rights in Thailand and no support services.
Despite widespread poverty, lack of child education, social and political issues, the people were caring and possessed such a generosity of spirt that these young Australians were inspired to want to give something back.
The organisation has since grown into a registered Australian charity, hosting regular fundraising events and appeals. Run entirely by volunteers, the team at Echo Nation are now directly funding efforts to assist individuals and communities all over the world.
Do you have time or skills to volunteer? We would love to hear from you!
Echo Nation is a registered Australian charity who strive to create opportunity and self-sustainability for disadvantaged people and protect them from human rights abuse. We also are involved in building and reconstruction work in areas recovering from war and natural disasters.
We are passionate about raising awareness and getting people involved on a grassroots level. We are completely staffed by volunteers who ensure more than 95% of your donation can get directly to where it is needed.
