For one in six Australian children and young people growing up in poverty, it can limit their choices, opportunities and outcomes in life. At The Smith Family, we truly believe supporting a child’s education is one the best ways to help break the cycle of disadvantage. By giving disadvantaged children and young people the support and resources they need to achieve their full potential, our impact will have a lasting effect on those we help today, and for generations to come. As Australia’s largest national education-oriented charity, we support disadvantaged Australian children to participate fully in their education. Our learning support and mentoring programs help children in need to fit in at school, keep up with their peers, and build aspirations for a better future for themselves. We are truly grateful to the many thousands of caring Australians who support the work we do for families in need. Without your generosity, our work in communities and schools across Australia simply wouldn't be possible.
