About MAWAI

The Mexican Australian Welfare Association Incorporated is a non-profit organisation staffed by volunteers. It was established in August 1988 with the help of the Mexican Consulate and 11 members of the Mexican community. Since then, community participation has increased.

MAWAI is made up of people who form part of the Mexican Community in Australia. The Mexican Community consists of people of Mexican descent, Mexicans who live in Australia, friends of Mexicans and anyone who has an interest in Mexico and Mexican culture.
