Since 1987, Edmund Rice Foundation Australia has been working to liberate lives through education. Globally, we partner in bold and sustainable change that addresses systemic barriers to education and equality.
In collaboration with Mirror of Hope and @DFAT through the Australian NGO Cooperation Program #ANCP, we are tackling issues of systemic unemployment and creating brighter futures through business skills training. The women’s empowerment project* provides women with business skills training and ongoing support, paving the way to self-reliance. This projects aim to equip participants with essential skills, foster economic self-reliance, and enhance employment opportunities.

1 in 3 children in Western Kenya cannot read a single word.

As we head towards the end of the financial year, your gift can help children learn, read and thrive. 

In rural western Kenya, classrooms are overcrowded, teachers are untrained and under-supported, and children are leaving school unable to read, leaving them disadvantaged for life. 

But, with your help, this can change. 

 

With improved teacher training, better literacy support and safer classrooms, children can gain the foundational skills they need to succeed at school and beyond. 

Your support this tax time will help train teachers, strengthen schools and help thousands of children learn to read with confidence.
