This Lent, you’ll change the lives of people like Ada

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.

Lam’s disability has brought him constant struggles. Although he aced all his exams at school, he still faced a lifetime of poverty and disadvantage.

Lam’s family are farmers in Vietnam. They cannot afford the mobility equipment he needs to become independent. And it was impossible for Lam to continue his education – and reach his potential.
