Community Involvement

We are fully committed to the work we do in the community, whether that be through pro bono work, donation or participation. We are proud of our association and involvement with a variety of charities and community programs.

Consulate for Tanzania

Didier Murcia accepted appointment as the Honorary Consul for Tanzania in 1997 and since that time our office has acted as the Consulate for Tanzania on an honorary basis. Tanzania needs to promote itself to gain much needed tourism and international financial investment in its industries. We work hard to assist and facilitate that economic development.

Rafiki Australia Tanzania

Didier Murcia established Rafiki Australia Tanzania (Rafiki) in 2004 to support Tanzania’s health and education services. Being a 100% volunteer-run organisation with no admin fees, MPH coordinates Rafiki, covers the administration costs and raises funds for its continuing growth.

Since 2004, Rafiki has supported nearly 3,000 life-changing plastic and reconstructive surgeries over 40+ medical camps, established Tanzania’s first plastic and reconstructive surgery training pathway, and expanded access to menstrual health education and reusable period products for thousands of schoolgirls

Building on more than two decades of impact, in 2026, Rafiki expanded its specialist surgical outreach program to Chato, increasing access to life-changing plastic and reconstructive surgery services in underserved regions of Tanzania, Burundi, Uganda and Rwanda, while continuing to strengthen local surgical capacity at the national hospital in Dar es Salaam.

Through Rafiki wa Binti, the organisation is reaching thousands of girls with menstrual health education and reusable period underwear, helping improve school attendance, confidence, dignity, and educational outcomes for girls across Tanzania.

MADALAH

MADALAH Limited is a not-for-profit organisation that offers Secondary and Tertiary education scholarships for Indigenous students from remote and regional communities to Western Australia’s leading boarding schools and Australian universities. Far from just providing a bursary, MADALAH wraps around the students to support their journey through mentorship, cultural activities, and empowerment.

MPH has been MADALAH sponsor since 2018, and in 2021, extended sponsorship to the MPH Lawyers Youth Leadership Summit, which empowers emerging leaders within the MADLAH student group.

We share the belief that education is the key to generational change and opportunity.
