For millions of people around the world, life without clean water, decent toilets or good hygiene is a reality. WaterAid Australia works with local partners to help communities access these essential amenities.
We were a sponsor of the first WaterAid Gala Ball in Melbourne in 2004. This marked the beginning of a long relationship, and the business has been a proud supporter of WaterAid ever since.
In 2013, Geoff Weaver visited Timor-Leste to learn about the vibrant culture as well as the hardships the communities face. Our Chief Operating Officer, David Lilley, followed suit in 2015 and learnt firsthand the difference even the most basic amenities can make to the health and happiness of the people within these communities.
Supporting WaterAid Australia has been our chance to give back to the global community. Through sponsorship and fundraising initiatives, we have been able to support the incredible work WaterAid does to bring safe drinking water and sanitation to communities in need.
A staggering 1.2 million young people are living below the poverty line in Australia alone. The Smith Family has been supporting children and families for over 100 years, with its sights firmly set on breaking the cycle of poverty by supporting the education of children in need.
Since 2016, Interflow has been a proud supporter of The Smith Family through programs like the Christmas Toy and Book Appeal their Learning for Life initiative. Learning for Life provides more than 57,000 young Australians with the support they need to secure a brighter future through early education.
Today, Interflow sponsors 36 students around Australia, enabling them better access to educational resources to support their career aspirations.
At Interflow, we know that education is a powerful tool for creating and accessing opportunities, particularly for young people. When people can participate in education, the benefits flow beyond the individual, benefitting communities and economies.
In 2024, we began our partnership with the GO Foundation. GO’s mission is to ‘empower through education’ and create opportunities for Indigenous children and young people. GO do this through their holistic program, which focusses on culture and education, to help young people reach their full potential.
The program offers scholarships to students from primary school through to university. GO students have opportunities to learn more about their own culture and identity with other Indigenous young people, access to professional opportunities, and financial support to help pay for the essentials of education.
GO and Interflow share a common goal, to improve lives. This partnership is our chance to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people and their communities and create brighter futures through education.
