Education



Partner Charity Program impact

We are so grateful for the support from the Findex Community Fund. It is a

demonstration of their commitment to rural and regional Australia. With their support,

education outcomes for young country school leavers continue to improve and

provide new, exciting opportunities.

Juliet PetersonCEO of Country Education Foundation

Jenni HeenanFundraising Manager of Yalari

We want children living in hardship to have the same opportunity to learn as

any other child, because education is their ticket out of poverty. Success for us is a child sitting in class feeling warm and dry and able to focus on learning because they have a cosy jacket, good shoes and a full tummy. It’s about providing period products, so they don’t miss

school, or head lice treatment to improve their health. Every child deserves to have the basics – that’s why we are so grateful for the support

we receive from partners like the Findex Community Fund.

Julie ChapmanCEO & Founder of KidsCan

Our sincere thanks for your continued commitment and belief to empower our

Indigenous children through a quality education. Quite simply put, we could not provide our

educational program and the milestones and opportunities it creates for these children without

the support of special people like you.Thank you.
