This Sydney organisation is helping women in need rebuild their lives – here’s how to back them

Every woman and child deserves a safe space to call home. That’s just not the reality in New South Wales right now. At the forefront of trying to change that is the Women’s Housing Company, which provides stable housing and wraparound support to help women not just get by, but get back on their feet. Working alongside tenants, clients and partners, the organisation is all about backing women and making a lasting impact – but they can’t do it alone.

Making a donation can have a very real, immediate impact and might even mean the difference between whether a woman or child has a bed to tuck into at night this winter. Especially when the reality is that more than 50,000 women and 17,000 children are experiencing homelessness on any given night in Australia.

If you want to throw your support and funds behind a good cause then it’s easy to do so in a few clicks. Donations can be made online with monthly or one-off payments and you get to set the fee. For a bit of an idea of how your gift is used, a $37 donation can provide one woman with a pack of self-care essentials and makes for a great starting point. 

If you’re able to give more, $80 can fund a personal goal-setting session; $160 can support group coaching for 10 women; $600 can provide tailored, one-on-one employment support over 12 months; $1,000 can help cover child essentials, technology and tutoring; and $2,000 can fund a full year of mentoring and psychosocial support for one woman. 

Any donation you make is also tax-deductible, so come EOFY, you might even get a little something back.
