We invest in building the power and capacity of local organisations.
2022 TAX TIME APPEAL: Over the past two years, extended school closures have impacted nearly 1.6 billion students around the world – and it is girls and young women who have been hardest hit. Please make a donation today so we can boost the work our local partners are doing to bridge the education gap caused by Covid and conflict and get education outcomes back on track.
In the wake of the Taliban taking power in August 2021, we held a zoom even ‘indigo conversations – spotlight on Afghanistan’ featuring Ali Reza Yunespour (indigo Partnership Coordinator) and Tamana Mirzada (Board Member). They shared their thoughts on the unfolding political situation in Afghanistan, as well as the status of our partnership and actions we can take to stand in solidarity with the Afghan people.
Check out this video made by a group of young people at Club Rafiki about our partnership in Rwanda. The video is longer than the usual 45 second social media share but is a powerful look at the transformative programs Club Rafiki run and that we are proud to support – from the urban dance school, to sexual and reproductive health outreach, testing and counselling programs, to english language workshops and the ‘Our Girls’ program
Thank you so much to everyone who joined us on Friday 27 May for a very special night in Canberra to hear from our Partnership Coordinator Ali Reza Yunespour.

Enormous thanks to everyone who joined us in June and make our indigo Sydney jazz dinner so special! It was indeed a wonderful evening of music and stories of impact and resilience from the ground in Afghanistan.
