Aboriginal Children's Crèches
Gerard and Minya Porlar crèches care for children in a culturally appropriate space in a manner that respects their culture and helps children with school readiness. Your donations provide indoor and outdoor play equipment, books and art supplies to develop children's physical, social, listening and creative skills.
Financial Counselling
ac.care has been able to provide financial counsellingn services in regional South Australia from donated funds. We have noticed more need for financial counselling in remoter areas and need funds to be able to deliver this service.
Homeless Youth Resilience Scholarship
Support for young people ages 12 to 25 to continue or re-engage with education and move onto work, a trade or tertiary education, helping to break the cycle of disadvantage.
Youth Resilience Scholarships rely solely on donated funds. The increased donations to the Homeless Youth Resilience
Scholarship enabled us to double the number of young people who received the scholarship. Thank you!
Scholarship Recipients Speak

Debbi - aged 13 - “I want to complete high school and to go to uni to study to become a lawyer. I want to be a lawyer so that people who do wrong things will be brought to justice. I love singing and dancing and really want to continue these after school, also my sport. At present I am writing a book and would like to complete this and continue to write. If I can earn enough money I would buy my mum a house and make sure my brother has what he needs.” (written by school counselor in discussion with Debbie)
