Changing the future for children

The best way to break the cycle of poverty is to keep children in the classroom. That's why we work in Australia and overseas to create greater access to quality education and ensure girls and boys are able to learn in safe and positive environments.

When disaster strikes, we make sure children are given care and emotional support to survive and recover. We provide them with food, water, shelter and comfort, and build temporary schools so they can continue to learn and maintain a normal life while we help their communities to rebuild.

The coronavirus pandemic has hurt children immeasurably; from education disruptions, social isolation, harm to mental health and wellbeing, and the lifelong effects of families driven into poverty. We must act now to protect the next generation. We must build back better so children are guaranteed education, safety and a genuine voice.
