Kids helping kids
These projects are currently underway at SchoolAid.
SchoolAid launches project appeals throughout the year providing Australian kids with the opportunity to learn about other kids in need both in Australia and abroad. Our projects respond to urgent humanitarian need either in the face of natural disaster or issues affecting young Australians right here in our own backyard.
