Who We Are
FMAES is a dedicated organisation committed to supporting multicultural communities, particularly refugees and migrants, through math education and wellness programs. Established to address the unique challenges faced by individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, we aim to create opportunities for personal and educational growth. Rooted in the values of inclusivity and empowerment, we work tirelessly to bridge gaps in access to education and wellness services.
Although our current organisation was formalised in recent years, our foundation is built upon years of experience and a passion for community service. Through partnerships with local communities, educational institutions, and other support services, we strive to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those we serve.
