Orbus Ministries Australia Inc. (ABN 14 458 768 638), an Australian registered charity, is a Public Benevolent Institution endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR).
As part of Orbus’ involvement in providing relief and development in Malawi, Central Africa, our primary focus to date has been to partner with locals to help underprivileged children through assisting with the provision of education and skills development initiatives.
Orbus had its beginnings in 2007 with the establishment of a ministry to AIDS orphans in Malawi. Orbus Australia have established and supports the CCAP Orbus Mission Primary and Secondary Schools in Ngumbe, Malawi, has planted hundreds of trees, assisted nearby villages with the provision of new water wells and pumps, built new homes for orphan families, as well as conducting general intermittent community orphan care as resources become available.
We are a Partner Mission Agency of Australian Presbyterian World Mission (APWM), and are governed by a board of five based in Melbourne, Australia.
As a volunteer charity there are no high administration costs and nearly 100% of donated funds are used directly for ministry purposes. Historically there have been no fund-raising costs, no wages, fees, travel or related expenses paid for any Orbus Ministries Australia Inc. management, board members or any Australian volunteers from general donations.
Please feel free to contact any board member or the Australian coordinator for Orbus, Craig Manners, regarding volunteering or donating at admin@orbusministries.org

The word Orbus comes from the Armenian word orb (-oy, -oc) meaning "orphan, fatherless (child)." From this comes (h) orbos, from which the Latin word Orbus is derived, with the modern meaning: "underprivileged, disadvantaged, neglected, defenseless, impoverished, needy, poor, orphan, bereaved, childless and destitute."
Our logo depicts the vision of Orbus, which is to stand alongside and help the weak, vulnerable and poor, especially children who have lost one or both of their natural protectors. The logo depicts three vertical Christian "fish" symbols, with the one in the centre representing an orphaned child and the two either side of that child representing people who have come forward to protect and love that child, in the name of Jesus.
