any good thing therefore I can do
or any kindness I can show
to any fellow creature,
let me not defer or neglect it
for I shall not pass this way again.

Big Heart Project is a humanitarian movement that was started by young people in Melbourne, Australia in 2009.
The heart of the project is to change the world through acts of compassion. We especially aim at supporting children’s needs: food, a home, shelter from violence and forced labor, and the right to an education.
Our vision is international, while our projects are grassroots.
We are keen to connect with anyone who is interested in making a difference.

We stand with compassion in the face of abuses perpetrated against children, be they through slavery, orphanhood, prostitution or war.

Let us risk making a case for a different world in light of this world's rapacious disregard for the lives of others; against the morbid excesses of the overdeveloped nations and the consequential destitution of the dedeveloped ones; against bureaucratic mismanagement; and difference (be it sexual or cultural) asserted as a justification for another's subjugation.

We stand for a world governed by conscience, in the knowledge that the urge of hands to reach out to a stranger is more urgent than the urge of hands to form fists. We support the interests of animals unable to represent their own, an interest we wish to extend to the equilibrium of planetary life in our own interest.


Let life prevail.

We are tackling child prostitution and poverty in South-East Asia through the integration of education and other practical forms of development. These issues extend to the rest of the world and are very much woven within the social fabric of the society. We are tackling the root causes of these issues with the intention of sustaining a real and dependable long term solution.


We have many more proposed projects and this organization is growing very quickly. Get involved!
