MORE THAN 43,000 CHILDREN


ARE CURRENTLY IN FOSTER CARE


Every child deserves the right
to literacy and numeracy
skills. Of the kids currently
in foster care in Australia,
approximately 32,250
will not complete high
school. Many of these
children bounce from
home to home and to
diff erent schools and as
a result, their education and
life outcomes are compromised.

The Pyjama Foundation aims to break this
cycle of disadvantage through early intervention,
education and empowerment. Like all kids, foster
children need to be encouraged and supported to
reach their full potential. The Pyjama Foundation
screens, trains and carefully matches volunteer
mentors with foster children to make a positive,
life-long impact on their future.
