Why do we need support?
In some parts of New South Wales, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people account for nearly 80% of the children in out-of-home care. Yet many do not receive care from a culturally appropriate organisation.
Every little bit of help goes a long way in supporting our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people. Whether it’s $2 or $500, our organisation always appreciates the generosity and involvement of people such as you.
We all need to belong and know who we are.
For many Aboriginal Australians, culture, languages and connections to community were torn away from them. Today, there are well over 7000 Aboriginal children and young people across Australia in foster care, which is constantly increasing at an alarming rate.
You can help.
To build pride in our culture for all Australians, we need to improve cultural empowerment for Aboriginal kids and the next generations.
Your donation to our appeal will be used toward the continued goal of fulfilling Narang Bir-rong’s mission.
Our Foster Care Stories
Sharing the stories of our foster carers allows us to tell you about the real impact our community has. The patience, compassion and perseverance of our carers are truly inspiring, and show how we can bring tangible and positive change to the lives of children and young people in our care.
