Advocacy

Sadly, there are millions of children living in vulnerable conditions, where they’re not treated fairly, equally and with dignity. Quite often, girls fare worse than boys due to unjust social and cultural practices like forced or early marriage and sexual exploitation.

At Good Neighbours, we run advocacy campaigns to help children recognise their rights and build capacity to protect them. We also ensure that child protection systems and policies are in place, at both national and community levels within the developing countries that we’re working in. 

In Australia, we connect with children through our community engagement activities and events with a focus on educating them about the plight and rights of children around the world.

It’s everyone’s responsibility to ensure that children are truly nurtured and respected.

Raising Awareness

Abuse, neglect, exploitation and violence can happen anywhere. By raising awareness and education amongst government officials, teachers and parents, we create an environment where children are also empowered to speak up for themselves.

Enshrining Child Protection

A well-functioning protection system is at the heart of a comprehensive approach to child advocacy and protection. We help establish structured and resourced systems collaborating with government and child protection agencies, while supporting families and communities with education, social and economic stability.

Empowering Children to Share

The Hope Letter Campaign is our signature program promoting awareness and providing support for children living in difficult circumstances. The campaign sees children write letters of encouragement to other less fortunate children around the world, promoting awareness and sensitivity to their plight.

How to Give

When you sponsor a child, your support extends beyond the financial. Diu’s story provides insights to the extra positives that come from helping a child in need.

Diu currently lives in a remote, mountainous village in Vietnam.
When her mother is working on the farm, she takes care of her younger brother and helps with household chores.

Through child sponsorship, she now has a safe home, access to education and medical support. But the biggest benefit is the emotional support she receives.

Good Neighbours Australia has deductible gift recipient (DGR) status with the Australian Taxation Office. All donations over $2 are tax deductible.
