At The Smith Family, we believe that education is one of the world’s most powerful change agents.
That’s why we focus on helping young Australians to overcome educational inequality caused by poverty. As a national, independent charity, every day we work with thousands of children and their families to help them unlock better futures for themselves.
The Smith Family has been working to improve the lives of children living in disadvantage for over 100 years.
Over that time, The Smith Family has evolved to become a modern, dynamic, evidence-based organisation that helps children in need create better futures for themselves through long-term support for their education.
Today we’re supporting 67,165 students on our flagship Learning for Life program, helping to break the cycle of disadvantage through targeted, long-term support for their education – and we’re expanding our careers education programs, providing even more opportunities to help students transition from school, tertiary education or training into the workforce.

771 million people worldwide live without clean water close to home. Diarrhoea caused by dirty water, poor toilets and insufficient hygiene kills almost 800 children a day. A lack of clean water, decent toilets, and good hygiene keeps kids out of school, adults out of work and traps people in poverty.
Together we can unlock people’s potential with clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene. Without all three, people can’t live dignified, healthy lives. With all three, they can unlock their potential, break free from poverty, and change their lives for good.

Our programs empower women, men and children so they can build lives free from poverty and injustice.
Our programs break cycles of poverty through teaching and education, protect the well-being of communities by providing medical care and programs that improve access to clean water and toilets, develop independent, strong communities through livelihood training and income-generating projects, and provide vulnerable individuals with pastoral care, social inclusion and advocacy.
