UMA is a vibrant Bengali/Indian, charitable organisation, with like-minded, intellectuals from various backgrounds like engineering, medical, banking, academics, etc., who have come together to promote/celebrate Bengali/Indian culture and traditions. We aspire to build a platform to bring together people from all works of life, by celebrating Indian festivals with all of Australia and using our social podium as a confluence of cultural exchanges. The members of our organisation are all migrants who arrived in Australia over the last few years. Each of us have had to go through our challenges in settling in Australia from which we have learnt and are keen to pass on our knowledge to all new migrants including refugees, single parents, financially challenged or victims of domestic violence. By organising our ethnic festivals since 2019, we aspire to build a platform to bring together people from various segments of our society where they can learn from each other s experiences and lean on each other for support. Through these forums we address emerging opportunities towards employment, training, education and financial wellbeing.
