Introducing Hagar Australia
Hagar Australia’s CEO Kate Kennedy and Relationship Manager Caroline Hume will be at the Geotech Group Head Office on Tuesday, 17 June 2014 to introduce the charity we have once again chosen to sponsor in this year’s The Age Run Melbourne event.
Even if not running, we want you to join us in the lunchroom for an hour from 5:30pm – 6:30pm and learn more about the charity and how the $13,000+ we raised last year was utilised.
Finger food and refreshments will be provided.
Over the course of the evening we will gain a better understanding of different areas of Hagar’s recovery programs that we might be interested in supporting, such as:
- Trauma Therapy Counselling Project
- Girls Recovery Project (Providing a safe house for recovery and healing)
- Boys Recovery Project (Providing a safe house for recovery and healing)
- Hagar Catch Up School (Benefiting 123 children, Hagar’s Catch Up School provides six years of education over 3 years. Educating the most vulnerable of children, all of whom have never been to school.)
- Legal and Justice Protection Unit (This project provides legal support to clients who have to attend local or international legal proceedings, ensuring timely access to quality legal representation and support for clients in the legal process. Beneficiaries 88 clients)
- Transitional Group Home (For survivors who are not ready or not able to return home).
Alternatively supporting their recovery programs in general allows funding to spread across all areas of the healing and recovery process.
Hagar is a specialist aftercare agency that works with women and children who have survived trafficking and severe abuse in Cambodia, Afghanistan and Vietnam.
Their purpose is singular; they restore broken lives. They welcome the toughest of human conditions. They stay focused on the individual. And they do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to restore life in all its fullness.
“Whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, to restore a broken life.”
