Our Mission

What we exist to do

To fund child and family-centred programs that support the vulnerable and disadvantaged in society while upholding their dignity and right to equality, with a focus on mental and physical health including the impact of domestic and sexual violence, substance abuse and trauma, welfare, education, housing, and the environment.

The family understands through its lived experience that each country faces issues of concern that may be unique in that jurisdiction. The overarching driver is to model programs that are 'fit for purpose'. It doesn't subscribe to the idea that 'one-size-fits-all'.
