Poverty hits children the hardest
All Olivia* wishes for this Christmas is a safe place to sleep and food on the table. Your generosity can be the turning point for a family like Olivia's.
In Australia, one child dies every two weeks as a result of abuse and neglect.
This is one too many. Children who are suffering from, or who are at risk of abuse and neglect face many challenges in their young lives. They have often been pushed to the edges of society, and their voices are all too rarely heard.
It’s not their fault...
Watch Jordan's heartbreaking story
A lot of the children that come into the care of Barnardos have suffered severe trauma, neglect, emotional and physical abuse and exploitation. With our help, these children are given a second chance at a happy, safe childhood.

Daisy's* story
Baby Daisy grew up surrounded by neglect, pain, and suffering, much like her mother, Leila*. In her own childhood, Leila endured domestic and family violence, leaving lasting scars.
You can help innocent young victims of abuse grow up in safety and have the best chance for a brighter future.
