Why
Generational injustice
“Young people who through a combination of their stage of life, individual, family and community circumstances and barriers to participation are at risk of not realising their potential to achieve positive life outcomes”.
MADCOW® will provide financial capacity to Bendigo Baptist Community Care Inc. to strengthen support around the most vulnerable within our community with an emphasis on youth and young families.
MADCOW® will provide people with the tools and strategies to elevate themselves out of their seemingly ‘hopeless’ situations.
MADCOW ® will continue to raise awareness and help alleviate hopelessness and despair to the most vulnerable people with an emphasis on youth and young families in the Bendigo and surrounding region.
MADCOW® aims to ensure that youth and young families:
- are released from generational in-justice
- have access to support services and education
- have the right to be safe and protected from harm
- are equipped with fundamental life skills
- experience life success and celebration
MADCOW is a local Bendigo charity, breaking the cycle of poverty and homelessness.
Our headquarters are located at 214 Hargreaves street. Phone 03 5441 4747 e:madcow@madcow.org.au
