I am pleased to share this update and reflect on the difference your support continues to make in the lives of individuals, families and communities around the world.
This newsletter shares stories of how education and wellbeing are strengthened through inclusion, respect and connection. In Timor-Leste, Agostinho is learning alongside his students and through his own family experience. As a father to a child with disability, he is seeing more clearly what equity in education means. It is not about treating every child the same, but about giving each child what they need to learn and grow with confidence and dignity.
In the Kimberley, Aboriginal young people are finding support through Yawardani Jan-ga. In a culturally safe environment, connection with horses is helping young people to feel calm, build trust and begin to heal from experiences that have carried through generations.
In Peru, Lourdes is showing that learning has no age. By returning to study later in life and stepping into leadership, she is helping create opportunities for other women to learn, participate and lead in their own communities.
These stories are diverse, but they are connected by the belief that every person deserves the chance to learn, belong and thrive. They are also a reminder that lasting change happens when communities are supported with compassion, partnership and hope.
Thank you for walking alongside these communities and helping make this possible.
With gratitude,

Jane Woolford
Chief Executive Officer
