A Brighter Tomorrow
Our Story
Compassion Network began with a belief shared by its founders, Shiva Karan and Gita Kritika Singh that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their circumstances or abilities.
EST. 2024
Founded in Australia · Serving Fiji
Our Roots
Born and raised in Fiji, Shiva and Gita grew up in families where service, generosity and helping others were an important part of life. Through their parents, they became aware of the Frank Hilton Organisation and its work long before Compassion Network was established.
Learning more about the challenges faced by children with disabilities and their families strengthened their determination to help. They believed they could use their connections, skills and love of music to bring people together in support of this cause
The Journey
Although the Frank Hilton Organisation was already familiar to them, a visit in 2022 marked an important turning point. Shiva and Gita visited with a clear intention to better understand its work and explore how they could personally support the children and families it serves. Witnessing the organisation’s remarkable work firsthand strengthened their determination to help.
They gathered a passionate group of musician friends, volunteers and supporters for the first Shivas Regal Project charity concert in Brisbane. From the beginning, they made a clear commitment that every dollar raised through ticket sales and donations would go directly to the Frank Hilton Organisation no event costs deducted.
Compassion Network was formally registered, marking an important step in growing our commitment to service. Our Melbourne charity concert raised funds to support the Residential Care Program at the Frank Hilton Organisation, helping provide essential care and support for children with disabilities.
Our journey continued with a charity concert in Sydney. Funds raised contributed towards the procurement of Fiji’s only Infant Screening Equipment, in conjunction with the Australian High Commission in Fiji, supporting earlier screening and access to care for children and families.
Today, Compassion Network leads community initiatives including the Shivas Regal Project and Compassion in Action. Through music, fundraising and inclusive community activities, we raise funds, build awareness and create meaningful opportunities for people to contribute.
More than fundraising
With the generosity of our volunteers, sponsors, performers and supporters, we are helping create brighter futures one act of compassion at a time.
