Every child deserves the chance to dream big - but for thousands of Australian children, poverty makes that almost impossible.
Many children start school already behind, not because they lack ability, but because they lack the support and resources to keep up.
Your donation today can change that. You’ll help provide vital learning programs, mentoring, and encouragement so children can catch up, stay motivated, and believe in their potential.
With your support, young Australians can overcome the barriers created by poverty — and build a future filled with opportunity and hope.
