About AETFA-SA

  • AETFA-SA Began its life as Campaign for an Independent East Timor, SA Inc (CIET) in 1975. The name was changed to Australia East Timor Friendship Association, SA Inc in 2002 as Timor-Leste finally gained its independence.
  • The objectives of the association are:
    To work for the human rights and ongoing self-determination of the East Timorese people; to assist the Timorese to rebuild their country and their lives; and to promote public awareness in Australia of the history, culture and contemporary situation in East Timor.
  • AETFA-SA takes an active role in advocacy and fundraising, including
    · Support for the Timor Sea Justice Campaign
    · Justice for victims of Human Rights Abuse in East Timor and the region
    · Support and fundraising for the work of the Alola Foundation to promote the welfare and interests of women and children in East Timor
    · Fundraising for Rebuilding Education in East Timor
    · Help for the East Timor Epilepsy Association
    · Promotion of East Timor’s exports including coffee and crafts
    · Provides information about East Timor (books, music, videos etc)
    · Support for Timorese students studying in South Australia
  • AETFA-SA can provide information to people considering going to East Timor to participate in its development, and provides a means for Australians who have returned from working there to keep in touch. AETFA-SA seeks to work with all groups and individuals assisting the people of East Timor and the country’s development by promoting appropriate and sustainable outcomes that avoid dependency.
