Project Name:
Grandcarers WA - Advanced Education Program (RABS)
Country:
Australia
Description:
Rotary Club Osborne Park (RCOP) proposes to establish an advanced education project fund for the grandchildren of members of Grand Carers WA (GCWA). This group supports the grandparents who are full time carers of their grandchildren, because their parents are not able to look after them. This may be a result of various circumstances such as parental illness, addiction, death or other unforeseen events. If the grand parents didn't intervene these children would become part of the foster care system. For many grandparent carers, the financial costs of raising children comes at a time when their own personal incomes are fixed and do not easily allow for supporting dependents. The advanced education project intends to support identified children within the Grand Carers program who are transitioning from primary school to secondary schools in the purchase of educational items such as school uniforms, books, computer resources, and/or stationary.
