School Aid

SchoolAid is a national schools-based philanthropy network empowering kids to help kids in crisis. Our purpose is to promote a world where Australian children live the values of care and compassion and so develop a lifelong sense of moral and social responsibility. SchoolAid enables and empowers primary school kids to make a tangible difference to... the lives of other children - kids helping kids - through commitment and action. By participating in our programs, kids learn a sense of personal and social responsibility about the needs of others, and how the power of their actions can truly make a difference. SchoolAid arms Primary school teachers with a full suite of learning and activity resources to readily engage students in active philanthropy, whilst reinforcing the values-learning benefits associated with their students' fundraising activities. Since SchoolAid was founded in 1999, over $3.5million has been raised by school students across Australia and distributed to child-focused programs from Victoria to Banda Aceh, from Katherine to Cambodia. I congratulate school children involved in SchoolAid across Australia for the support and care they have shown their peers. Schools are such an important part of the fabric of our community and the welfare of our children.Read More
