The Smith Family

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.

Children from disadvantaged backgrounds often don’t have access to the tools and support they need to keep up in school and get the most from their education. Cultivate Kind provides Financial support so these children can have access to school essentials, a ‘learning for life’ co-ordinator and learning and mentoring programs.
