About Us

Our Story

Relief Hope Agency Nation Development Service Incorporated was established on 18 September 2010 with a vision to support and empower African-Australian communities while maintaining strong connections to our roots in South Sudan.

Based in Blacktown, New South Wales, we serve as a bridge between cultures, helping community members integrate into Australian society while celebrating and preserving their rich cultural heritage.

Over the years, we have grown to deliver programs both in Australia and South Sudan, recognizing that true community development requires support on multiple fronts.
