Funds you raise will help people, like Toefuata'iga, (Toy-foo-ah-tah-ing-ah), living in poverty by providing the resources and support they need to build a better future.

Toefuata'iga, a 13-year-old primary school student in Samoa, faced severe challenges and disruptions to her learning due to water scarcity. After Caritas Australia’s partner Caritas Samoa installed a 10,000 litre water tank at her school, Toefuata'iga and her classmates saw improved health, consistent attendance, and more opportunities to prioritise education.
