Our impact and counting
Together as a Pro Purpose® community we’ve helped provide
Inspiring ways Pro Purpose™ partners are supporting the Child Sponsorship project
The need
Poverty is responsible for the deaths of six million children before their fifth birthday. Child Sponsorship focuses on the things that prevent children from surviving and thriving - and then works with the community to bring all the pieces of the puzzle together.
Child Sponsorship not only benefits the individual child but the community where they live. For every 1 child sponsored, another 4 benefit. Because of community focused solutions, it’s a proven method to help break the poverty cycle by helping meet basic needs for things like clean water, healthcare, education, improved farming and income opportunities.
The facts
In Uganda the child poverty rate is estimated to be 34.6%, significantly higher than the national poverty rate
Access to healthcare is limited for children living in poverty
In 2019 it was estimated that 22.5% of children aged 5-17 were engaged in child labour
Poverty drives child marriage with 10% of girls in Uganda married before the age of 15, and 40% married before the age of 18
The objective
The success and simplicity of the ‘One Child’ Sponsorship commitment, is that your business’ impact increases relative to your business growth. For instance, if you are a business that has multiple retail stores and becomes a ‘One Store One Child’ partner, you would sponsor as many children as you have stores. As your business continues to grow, each time you open a new store you would sponsor an additional child. It’s an exciting and achievable way to have mass impact over time.
YOUR PLEDGE
Transforming entire communities
The objective of our Child Sponsorship project is to sponsor as many children as possible within multiple communities and countries. With our sponsorship project dedicated to specific communities, our impact is amplified and allows for field trips to visit multiple sponsor children at once.
How some of our Pro Purpose Partners are pledging their support
Impact in Action
In partnership with World Vision, our First Nations youth project is creating lasting generational change. See stories of impact amongst the First Nations youth in Australia.
The need
Disadvantage and vulnerability are preventing many Australian First Nations children and youth from reaching their full potential. Implemented in schools for First Nations children and youth aged 10-20, participants have opportunities to build stronger connections to their culture and grow leadership and life skills so they can become the next generation of change makers.
In urban areas, First Nations youth are overrepresented in indicators pointing to high levels of vulnerability and disconnection. More than one third do not finish Year 12 and they make up more than half of all young people in youth detention. Without a strong understanding and connection to their identity, they enter adulthood ill equipped and often find themselves in negative generational cycles.
The facts
Maintaining cultural connections and identity is especially important for Indigenous youth
First Nations Youth account for half of all youth in detention
More than a third of First Nations Youth do not finish year 12
School attendance rate is dramatically lower than non-indigenous Australians
Suicide rates among Indigenous youth are higher than among their non-Indigenous counterparts
The objective
Give First Nations young people access to culturally strong education and connection that empowers them to reshape their future and pave the way towards real and lasting change. The program supports the shift away from service delivery in First Nations communities towards a focus on community development.
Your Pledge: Empowering the next generation
With your help, each participant experiences a strengthening in their connection to culture and improves their confidence and life skills. The complementary camp provides on-country cultural learning and experiences. These outcomes empower First Nations youth to contribute to their own development and that of their communities.
