Teamwork in Mud

Empowering Perth’s Communities

Dedicated to creating a sustainable future through education, local advocacy, and supportive guidance for every individual in Western Australia.

About Us

Hyderabad Association Western Australia is a community-based, independent, non-profit organisation run entirely by volunteers and funded by the people it serves.

We exist for the families who left Hyderabad and the Deccan and built new lives in Western Australia — and for the ones still finding their footing. We connect people to each other and to opportunity: an informal network where members exchange ideas, share information, and where employers and job seekers find one another without a recruiter in between.

Our work sits on three foundations: health, education, and economic wellbeing. We support families in hardship, help members into work, and stand with the community at the moments that matter most.

What we do?

  • Welfare support for families in financial difficulty

  • Employment connections between local employers and job seekers

  • Free airport pickup for new arrivals and visiting families

  • Funeral and bereavement services

  • Income generation support for those rebuilding

  • The Sacrifice Project, delivered annually

Where we stand?

HAWA is not a political organisation and does not promote any ideology, maslak, or school of thought. No member may use this platform to advance a personal ideology, business interest, or sectarian position. We are a no-profit, no-loss voluntary body — every rupee and every dollar goes back into the community it came from.

We are here for the whole community, without exception.

Our Mission

Our mission at Hyderabad Association of Western Australia (HAWA) is to empower and support the community by providing guidance, opportunities and practical assistance that enable individuals to grow, succeed and thrive. Guided by strong values, we are committed to promoting education, career development, entrepreneurship and meaningful community engagement, while supporting individuals and families as they build a better future.

Our Services

Education 

We run classes, tutoring, and scholarship support for children and adults who have been priced out of learning. Literacy, school fees, vocational skills, and Islamic education — whatever removes the barrier in front of someone.

Advocacy

We speak up for communities that are ignored, misrepresented, or unheard — in the media, in policy rooms, and in local institutions. Where people face discrimination or bureaucratic obstruction, we help them push back.

Migrant Support 

We support students and families rebuilding their lives after migration or displacement. That means practical help with housing, paperwork, school enrolment, and finding work, alongside the softer part — introducing new arrivals to neighbours, mosques, and people who already know how things work here. Nobody should have to learn a whole city alone.

Action

Direct, on-the-ground relief: food distribution, emergency support for families in crisis, medical camps, and seasonal drives during Ramadan and Qurbani.
