99% Challenge

99% Challenge

What can you do to challenge poverty?

Take the 99% Challenge

If you can live on just 99% of your income, just think about what the other 1% could do.

Palms Australia’s volunteers spend two years living simply, working for less than 10% of an average Australian wage, exchanging skills and contributing to long-term sustainable development.
You might not be able to volunteer right now, but if only ten Australians take the
99% Challenge they can provide an overseas community with a volunteer teacher, administrator, tradesperson, doctor or nurse. Can you be one of ten?

Can you live on 99%?

Visit our donate page to pledge 1% of your income per month.

Can you live on 99% to allow a volunteer to live on less than 10%?

Our Mission

3. To advance mutually enriching and challenging relationships of understanding, acceptance and care, to the point of sharing worlds of meaning in the deepest sense, with people of a culture different from one's own.
