Children living on the street and in slums face multiple challenges attending school.

In Uganda, women face various obstacles to full realisation of their rights and opportunities.

In rural Ethiopia, women have little or no access to emergency obstetric care. If labour becomes obstructed, they can be left in agonising labour for days.

An estimated 53 million primary school aged children are not in school in Sub-Saharan Africa.

On average three out of five students are bullied in Australia and 160,000 young people stay at home from school each day because of bullying.

A friend and I ran a High Tea last month to raise money for Happy Little Bottoms. We are in a small country town and one of the local magazines did a write up for us!

5 women die everyday during childbirth in Cambodia.

At least 20.9 million adults and children are bought and sold worldwide into commercial sexual servitude, forced labour and bonded labour.

27 Million are held in slavery worldwide today. Every 30 seconds someone is forced into this type of bondage.

Fake job offers or ‘boyfriends’ claiming to be offering a new life can trick girls into a trafficking situation.

The feeding program has also opened doors to running after-school programs to keep the children off the streets.

I love what we are all doing together as SISTERHOOD around the world to make a difference in the lives of others. So I am very excited to share with you what we did as Sisterhood here in Barcelona to raise money for our 1st 500 project and I really hope this will inspire someone!

Every year I would always wonder what I could do to help bless people’s lives even more.

I just wanted to share an incredible testimony of what a company of woman achieved at a recent 500 project evening I hosted.

I started I was 8 years old. Mum was helping people here in Australia and Indonesia and I said I wanted to help support people in need too.

My 500 project was actually part of a bigger colour conference story.

My sister-in-law and I flew to Colour in March this year, from New Zealand. We absolutely loved it and were inspired by the 500 project.

Today’s girls are the mothers of our future they deserve to have schooling and dignity.

Vision Rescue’s method is getting these children to attend non-formal education on a converted school bus and in the process feed them so that they want to come back again the next day.

At Colour Conference this year we are launching a literacy project being run by Hillsong Africa Foundation (HAF) in Cape Town, South Africa.

Because she doesn’t go to school, her daughters probably won’t go to school either…
