People With Purpose
At P&G Purpose, we are a nonprofit dedicated to helping people improve the lives of others in our community.
To truly help those living in our communities, we feel it is paramount to hear, understand and share their stories. That’s why we created People With Purpose — an online collection of stories from our community of employees, volunteers, and supporters just like you. We hope you will delight in reading these stories and in witnessing the positive ripple effects that result from a collective effort of sharing and supporting.

I am very happy to be here in Australia and have been here for one year now. It’s been difficult, especially [being aware of] the situation back home when I left. I want to be busy and use my skills to support myself. At the beginning of my time here, I knew everything would be hard: [learning] a new language, [building] new relationships, and [understanding] a new culture.

When I left home, the situation was very bad. People of all ages, anywhere, [would be there one second and] would be gone [the next] second. It was normal. So many people I knew died, including my girlfriend. I think everyone in the country wants a chance to escape now, especially those with children. The situation continues to get worse, and I think the country will never be the same. It can’t be. Everything is destroyed: the buildings, the roads and infrastructure, the historical sites, communities—so many injured and dead When I left home, the situation was very bad.

I’m very happy to be living with my brother because, if I wasn’t, you might find me living on the street. [I don’t make enough money to pay] rent (said soon after trying to buy the interviewer another drink, calling him his ‘guest’ and thanking him for his time). I have to start from zero. It’s hard, especially as I’m 37. (After a moment of reflection) Not from zero, actually.
