Barnardos is one of Australia’s most respected children's charities, caring for Australia’s most vulnerable children for over 120 years.
Each year they help thousands of children and families escaping the horror of violence and abuse or the humiliation of neglect, poverty and homelessness.
In Australia there is a reported case of child abuse or neglect approximately every two minutes.
The Yoga Aid Challenge is a dual purpose event to raise both awareness of the many benefits of Yoga whilst also raising crucial funding for children in need.
Here is how your donation will help break the cycle of child abuse and neglect:
$100 will contribute to a Barnardos worker making home visits to monitor a child whose development has been affected by neglect and abuse.
$175 will provide respite care for a child whose family has no other support.
$500 will contribute to the costs of a course of trauma counselling sessions for a child, so that child has a chance to move on from the past and look forward to the future.
