YOU CAN SPONSOR AN AUSTRALIAN CHILD TODAY

When you don’t have what you need to fit in, school can feel like the worst place in the world

One in six Australian children and young people are growing up in poverty, where even the bare necessities are hard to come by. In a family where there is no regular income, money goes on food, rent and bills. Finding money for a school uniform, proper shoes, textbooks or the next school excursion is often impossible.

For $52 a month, your sponsorship combined with that of another sponsor, will provide a child with the learning essentials they need such as books, stationery and data, so they don't fall even further behind in this crisis.
