Edmund Rice Foundation is an international development organisation that works alongside communities to create lasting change through education. We believe the people who know their communities best should lead the way, so we support locally driven solutions that respond to real needs.
We partner with communities to deliver sustainable education programs in Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Timor-Leste and the Philippines. In Australia, we support programs for children, young people and families facing disadvantage, including First Nations communities, refugees and people seeking asylum.
Our vision is for access to quality education and life-long learning opportunities for all, supporting empowered communities who determine their own futures.
We believe in relationships built on integrity, transparency and trust. We stand in solidarity with the disadvantaged and those living in poverty ensuring the dignity and equality of all.
This awakens us to our responsibilities and compels us to respond sensitively to the hopes and needs of local communities supporting them to eradicate poverty and suffering.
We believe in liberation through education, promoting human development and human rights and supporting local communities to break the cycle of poverty and determine their own futures.
Edmund Rice Foundation is the successor of the Christian Brothers’ Foundation for Charitable Works (CBFCW) which was established to support communities in Australia and overseas to rise above adversity.…
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.
