Join with Save the Children to give Syrian children an education and a future
What’s happening?
In Syria, schools are one of the most dangerous places to be. Throughout the war, schools have been deliberately targeted – buildings bombed, teachers killed. Just trying to get an education puts children’s lives in danger. But education is a powerful thing in an emergency – and children who have fled violence urgently need your support to make sure they get it. Amid the chaos and fear, education gives hope and can help children overcome the horrors they’ve seen.
Save the Children’s efforts
Save the Children is calling for a change in approach. An approach that trusts Aboriginal people to deal with Aboriginal business, one that includes genuine collaboration and partnership, empowers communities and involves long-term all of government support across the country. We must secure access to quality universal and targeted services necessary for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children to thrive.
How you can help
You can help children caught in conflict continue to learn. After the war, when the bombs have stopped falling, and the guns have stopped firing, that will be when Syrian children have the greatest need for their education and their future.
Just $66 can provide teacher’s kits so they have the resources they need to run lessons for 11 children, even in a temporary learning space.

Join with Save the Children to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children
What’s happening?
A report released by the ‘Family Matters’ campaign shows a shocking trend whereby Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are now nearly ten times as likely to be removed from their family as non-Indigenous children – a disparity which continues to grow. This is despite some increased focus and attention from various governments. The disproportionate representation of these children, and the failure to adequately provide for their wellbeing and ensure fulfilment of their rights, are characteristics common to all states and territories across Australia.
Professor Muriel Bamblett, one of Australia’s leading experts on Aboriginal child welfare, says there is a distinct lack of early intervention for families in need of support.
“The issue is clearly related to poverty and the level of disadvantage that Aboriginal communities experience. The stats tell us that 88% of children in care in Victoria, for example, are there because of family violence, drugs and alcohol, mental health etc. But have we got an effective approach to these issues that stem from poverty and neglect? No.” – Professor Muriel Bamblett
