Thanks Australia!

by CARE Australia - January 26, 2016

Many Australians aren’t aware of just what a life-changing impact their Australian aid contributions have had for communities all around the world. So this Australia Day we thought we’d share some highlights of how much we’ve achieved in the past year.

Over the past year, Australian aid has helped almost 1.4 million children to enrol in school.

Our Australian aid program, aimed at promoting prosperity, reducing poverty and enhancing stability around the world, helped provide drinking water to 4.3 million households last year.

Responding to the same crisis, we also provided safe community spaces for over 2.5 million children.

While on the island of Flores in Indonesia, over 494,000 people were assisted to access clean water.
