VILLAGE CLASSROOM DONATIONS
This is HEAPS 9th shipment where we packed two 20ft sea-containers full with donations for Central Province schools. These were shipped from Fremantle Port, Western Australia to Melbourne, to Singapore and onto Port Moresby.
Over the past 7 years HEAPS Australia has assisted 47 marginalised schools. Storage King at the Perth Airport has partnered with HEAPS to help to make a difference. They allow donors to drop off their gifts which are stored in their sheds until they are full, then ready for shipping. Swire Shipping is the liner shipping unit of China Navigation Company who loan their sea containers and cover the sea freight costs which defrays a significant percentage of the project spending. Over the past 5 years MAP donations have paid for the packing, loading, customs and immigration expenses.
Through the successful intersectional collaboration between all, has enabled this project to be ongoing and successful.

CHANGES START WITH EDUCATED CHILDREN
We work alongside local villages to provide school educational resources for their children in order to benefit their learning opportunities.
Our focus is on helping primary school children early in life, as long term education empowers a person to improve their socio-economic conditions for their families, villages and future generations.
GIRLS RECEIVING AN EDUCATION
A country can not succeeded if it has not educated its people. Not only is education important in reducing poverty, it is also a key to wealth creation. Having literacy and numeracy skills is fundamental, our donated reading books and stationary from generous schools in Australia, assists with promoting good habits with reading and writing.
Supporting gender equality is necessary, where girls are encouraged to complete their education in order to succeed and make the best life choices which are the most realistic for them.
Providing women and girls with equal access to education, health care, decent work, and representation in political and economic decision-making processes will fuel sustainable economies and benefit societies and humanity at large. Equal gender is a fundamental human right.
