Funding projects in East Timor - in memory of Andrew McNaughtan.
The Andrew McNaughtan Foundation was established in 2006 in memory of the late Dr Andrew McNaughtan (1954-2003) and in recognition of his significant work in assisting underprivileged people, especially in East Timor.
Dr McNaughtan was a well-respected, tireless and profoundly successful human rights activist.
“Andrew was one of those very special people whose dedication to the struggle of East Timor was tireless.”
— Abel Guterres, East Timorese Ambassador to Australia
