I have yet to meet an indigenous person who wants to be uneducated or unemployed or live a life which is dramatically shorter than anyone else's.
Yet this is the case in Australia today. At Ganbina, we know that young indigenous people have the power to change this status quo once and for all - if we can teach them how to live rewarding, independent lives and so inspire and lead others in their communities to do the same. To enable them to do this, we must first make sure that they get a proper education and a decent job - things which most of us take for granted but which, for indigenous youngsters, are so often out of reach. This is where Ganbina steps in. Our focus is to make sure that our children do stay at school, do get proper vocational training, do start meaningful careers and along the way, do develop the life skills they need to enable them to build a brighter future for themselves, their children and their communities. As a totally independent organisation, Ganbina relies entirely on private sector investment and in kind support to carry out our work. We hope our results inspire you to join us in empowering Australian indigenous children and teenagers to be the very best they can be. If we can do this, we know that they will bring about real, sustainable change in our indigenous communities for generations to come.
