Terri is paying it forward

“For families experiencing financial disadvantage like mine, programs like Learning for Life help cover the cost of uniforms, camps, excursions, and digital equipment. It can make all the difference to what they can achieve at school,” says Terri.

With support from her sponsor, Terri successfully completed Year 12 and undertook a university degree.

“Now, as a Learning for Life coordinator, I can pay it forward and support other families in my community,” says Terri. “It’s amazing to see how empowering students to break down the barriers to education gives them a chance to succeed now and in their future.”

Education is one of the most powerful change agents for breaking the cycle of poverty. And our Learning for Life program encourages students to harness education and achieve all they are capable of.

A highlight of Terri’s year is seeing the excitement of these students who have reached the milestone of Year 12 graduation, thanks to the support of their sponsors.
