Fourth Week of Lent - (Week beginning Monday 16 March)

This Lent, our school community has answered the call to Unite Against Poverty as part of Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion. We are proud to join thousands of others across Australia to create real, lasting change for people like Manaini.

Manaini is a mother of six and a grandmother of two living in rural Fiji. Life has always been a struggle - holding back tears, she shared: “The thing I worry about the most is my children’s education. The requirements that need to be met are hard for me to try and achieve with my daily income”.

Thanks to the generosity of schools like ours, Manaini joined training offered by Caritas Australia’s local partner, FRIEND. Through the program, she learnt food processing skills to transform leftovers from crops into flour, improving her family’s nutrition and increasing her weekly income to support her children’s education. “The project totally changed the life of my family and even the community,” Manaini said.

Watch Manaini’s story HERE to see how the actions of our school community today can create a lasting legacy of impact and change that will be felt for generations to come.

There is still time for you to be a part of that legacy - will you join us and stand with people like Manaini this Lent?
