CHARLES (Photo right) Despite taunts from his friend Charles wasn’t ashamed of going back to school. Realising that to support his family he needed to be able to read and write, Charles started attending a literacy class supported by ADRA’s CORE project in Papua New Guinea. After graduating he secured a job at the local, internationally owned mill – earning his family an income far beyond what his previous subsistence farming could provide. With determination, Charles took on further courses and as a result was offered a promotion. He continues to study and learn in the small literacy school and is helping other students do the same. ADRA works with local trainers to establish and improve literacy schools, while also working in conjunction with education authorities to allow graduates to transition back into formal education.

Around 5% of the Australian population experience deep and persistent disadvantage. These are often single parents, the unemployed, Indigenous people, those experiencing rental stress or housing insecurity and those on very low incomes. Disadvantage means ‘a lack of appropriate resources to maintain an adequate standard of living. It goes beyond inadequacy of income to include concepts of economic and social participation’8. Building community connections and opportunities for people to build relationships, to access opportunities and resources helps to reduce isolation and build resilience for people experiencing disadvantage. ADRA Australia works to build community through project activities that connect people through producing and sharing food, that reduce isolation for the elderly, that build resilience in young people and that are available and welcoming, including: •
Establishment and operation of community gardens
CASE STUDY: How ADRA responded to the NSW Bush Fires in October 2013 In October 2013 a series of bushfires broke out across New South Wales. At the peak of the crisis more than 100 fires were burning across the state at the same time– the most serious in the Blue Mountains. Under its agreement with the NSW Government, ADRA volunteers were called to numerous evacuation centres across the state. Volunteers were also placed on stand-by in Mittagong, Bilpin, Richmond, Blackheath, Nelsons Bay, Wallsend, Charlestown and Mayfield.
