Across the Pacific, churches are central to family and community, but leadership is predominantly male. The voices and representation of women are often excluded in decision-making, teaching and leadership, which reinforces gender power-imbalances in society.
We support women to study theology and seek ordination, equipping them for leadership in the Church and community.

Several of our Women in Ministry scholars have graduated recently. We were thrilled to get this note from Rev Toobora from Kiribati:
“I thank God for the gift of life and for our shared calling to serve in the various ministries He has entrusted to us. It is my constant prayer that God will continue to pour out His abundant blessings upon UnitingWorld as it continues to serve His people across the globe.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to UnitingWorld for its significant role in making my academic journey a successful one. Without the love, support and generosity extended by UnitingWorld in so many ways, I would not have reached this important milestone.Your collective efforts have made a lasting impact.
As we say in Kiribati, Kam bati n rab’a (thank you from the depths of my heart).”
Thanks to the UnitingWorld supporters who have donated and the congregations that have sponsored women like Rev Toobora to pursue their calling to serve God and change lives through their leadership. Currently we have two scholars at Davuilevu Theological College, Fiji, and we will share their progress in future updates.
