Hi there!

I'll be taking on the hills of Tasmania to raise funds for CINI Australia. I’d appreciate any contribution, big or small. 

Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly through to CINI Australia.

Thanks so much for your support!

What CINIAustralia does

CINI works in some of the poorest parts of India where malnutrition in children and adolescents is far too common, many children dont complete primary school and often go into child labour to help their families. Young girls are at real risk of being trafficked.

CINI Australia helps to break this cycle of poverty by empowering women to change their own lives and

provide their children with the opportunities and protection that we all want for our children.

This ride is raising funds for 

Child and Women Friendly Communities Program (CWFC)

Reaches 30,000 people living in 12 villages in Uttar Dinajpur where CINI provides

·      Training of local women in health and nutrition

·      The “1000 days” project for safe childbirth, antenatal care, immunization and health care      from conception for the first 1000 days of life

·      Early childhood development training for mothers

·      Parent education about the importance of schooling

·      Support to get ‘at risk’ children into school

·      Adolescent programs on malnutrition, reproductive health, early marriage prevention and      children’s rights

·      Village child protection training to prevent trafficking

·      Local councils, schools, services and villagers collaborate to build their skills and knowledge

IICCHAA:  “Hope” for Children affected by HIV

IICCHAA reaches over 200 families with children or parents affected by HIV/AIDS.  It targets the special needs of children whose families are severely disadvantaged.

·      Accurate information about HIV and its prevention

·      Training to develop family communication and coping skills
