HOW WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE
OUR PURPOSE PROJECTS
As a Pro Purpose partner, our Purpose Pledge helps support disadvantaged communities in Australia and around the world.
EMPOWERING FUTURES
Our 'First Nations Youth' initiative addresses the pressing issue of disadvantage and vulnerability hindering the full potential of Australian First Nations children and youth. Tailored for those aged 10-20, the program operates in schools, fostering stronger connections to culture and developing leadership and life skills. In urban areas, where First Nations youth face overrepresentation in indicators of vulnerability, they are empowered to break negative generational cycles.
Alarming statistics highlight the urgency of our mission, including over half of First Nations youth in detention and more than one-third not completing Year 12. Recognising the importance of cultural identity, our objective is to provide access to culturally strong education, enabling real and lasting change.
CULTURALLY SENSITIVE HEALING
Our 'First Nations Domestic Violence Workshops' initiative offers hope, healing, and a healthy future for First Nations women, addressing the pervasive issue of domestic violence in Australia's Indigenous communities. With Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women facing alarming statistics—35 times more likely to be hospitalized due to family violence and higher risks of homicide—Pro Purpose takes a proactive approach.
Focusing on 'healing journey' workshops, our project educates and equips women who have experienced domestic violence, aiming to break the cycle by providing knowledge and tools to prevent future occurrences.
TRANSFORMING LIVES, ONE COMMUNITY AT A TIME
Our 'Child Sponsorship' project is a beacon of hope, not just for individual children but for entire communities. Poverty claims the lives of six million children before their fifth birthday, making child sponsorship a crucial tool to break the poverty cycle. This initiative not only benefits sponsored children but also extends to their communities, with every sponsored child impacting an additional four individuals.
Focusing on community-centric solutions, child sponsorship addresses the fundamental barriers to children's survival and prosperity, including clean water, healthcare, education, and improved farming. Alarming statistics, such as the child poverty rate of 34.6% in Uganda, underscore the urgency of our mission.
BREAKING THE CYCLE OF HOMELESSNESS
Our 'Safe Housing' initiative addresses the urgent issue of homelessness in Australia, where 116,000 people, including over 17,600 children under 12, face homelessness on any given night. Focusing on early intervention, we provide accommodation and comprehensive services to empower families in crisis, working towards a brighter and stable future.
The project, in collaboration with Mission Australia, targets the root causes of homelessness, with domestic violence being a significant factor. Our objective is to offer three to nine months of accommodation and actively pursue a permanent living solution through private rentals. By providing support and addressing the multifaceted challenges faced by disadvantaged families, we strive to make a lasting impact on their lives and break the cycle of homelessness.
