Manna Kids, WA

Club Cares is supporting Queens Park Primary School, Perth, WA, to feed 40 students each week with breakfast. We will sponsor the Uniform Program at the school as many households have only one uniform and a pair of shoes for children go to school on alternate days. The clothing program provides a Tracksuit, pair of Shoes, Socks, Parka, Back Pack and a School Hat for each child. |
Refuge Ministries - Home of Swallows, Thailand
This was established in 2007 to provide Love and support to disadvantaged mothers and babies in response to the plight of hundreds of children orphaned, relinquished, sold and abandoned each year in Thailand. It provides accommodation, food, milk, support, education and training to the women.

Home of the Swallow seeks to keep families together and reduce the number of children being abandoned, sold, orphaned and relinquished to government orphanages each year. |
Youth Insearch, Queensland
 |
Through the 48 hour weekend programs and follow up support groups, a safe and trusting atmosphere is created for young people aged between 12 and 17 years, to help them address the reasons behind their abuse of drugs and/or alcohol; anti-social behaviour; turning to crime; lack of any motivation to obtain employment; or continue with their education.
By drawing on the resources of other young people , participants are encouraged to create their own peer support network . A typical weekend program would consist of approximately 50 young people and 10 to 15 support adults. Topics explored include communication, trust, self-esteem, parent/adolescent relationships, drug & alcohol abuse, suicide, adolescent health, sexual assault and grief. |
