Charity Info:
Hope for Children focuses on empowering local communities to best care for their vulnerable children and break the vicious cycle of poverty. We support a wide range of projects which provide the children with food, shelter, education, medical care and life skills. By addressing the psychological needs of the children, the work of Hope for Children goes beyond many of its counterparts. The carers participate in programs to enhance their parenting skills and ability to become economically self-sufficient. Through these programs, the children and their carers are building a brighter future for Ethiopia.
The Heart Foundation is Australia's leading not-for-profit heart health organisation, dedicated to reducing the dreadful effects of the number of people living with, or dying from stroke, heart disease and blood vessel disease. Since being established in Australia in 1959, the Heart Foundation has funded world-class cardiovascular research, supported health professionals in their practice, developed health promotion activities, informed and educated the public, and assisted people with cardiovascular disease. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Australia accounting 34% of all deaths, killing one Australia every 10 minutes.
