Our goal: food security and life-saving nutrition in Ethiopia
In 2022, students and their families across Australia raised funds to support families in Ethiopia facing malnutrition and food insecurity.
Our projects on the ground help sustain and enrich the lives of vulnerable children by providing nutritious milk and other food items.
Socktober Challenge: Your mission starts here
The Socktober Challenge is a comprehensive journey in mission where you create your own adventure and kick goals for kids in need off the field.
