On 28 April 2025, Edmund Rice Foundation will launch an exciting new school-based initiative to drive engagement and awareness of social justice issues.

Doco in a Day challenges students to create a short film about a global issue — like gender equality, access to education or sustainability — in just one day.

But it’s not just a learning experience: students use their films to fundraise for life-changing educational opportunities in some of the world’s poorest communities.

And the best part? ​​​​

The winning team (and their teacher!) will experience a once-in-a lifetime immersion trip abroad to see the impact of their fundraising first hand.

Over 20 EREA schools and 6 EREA Flexi Schools have already registered. There is still time for EREA schools to register for the program.

We are so proud of the students who are stepping up to the Doco in a Day challenge — not just as filmmakers, but as global citizens.

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.
