You're an Australian brand, do you currently fund partners in Australia as well as overseas?

We know extreme poverty occurs both here in Australia and overseas. In 2015 we committed to our first Australian project in partnership with The Salvation Army’s Hamodava Café that serves breakfast and lunch to Melbourne’s homeless and disadvantaged, and offers them a chance at rehabilitation though The Salvation Army’s services. Through our partnership, we funded over 60,000 meals at the Hamodava Café.

In 2020 we began a partnership with Children’s Ground in Australia. We love that the Children’s Ground approach is founded on the respect of Indigenous culture and knowledge, and has been designed for and with communities experiencing intergenerational poverty. The Children’s Ground community-led programs are underpinned by research and experience, and are tracked over a 25-year period. Their service helps individuals realise their aspirations for the next generation of children and families to have agency over their social, cultural, political, and economic future.

As has been our approach in Australia, we will endeavour to research potential partners within the markets we sell products to find partners who align with our mission and values.
