- In 2024, our Pacific teams directly reached 384,831 people across Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Tonga. Our largest programs were focused on education and nutrition.
- In Vanuatu, we delivered an education program with the government that made schools more inclusive and resulted in students reading more. In Papua New Guinea, we worked with the government to start the first national child nutrition grant.
- In the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, we increased community resilience to climate change, and supported our Next Generation Youth Ambassadors to advocate for their climate rights on the international stage.

- Together with Education Cannot Wait and other partners, we successfully advocated for a legal amendment in Iraq, which means children living with disabilities can now continue their schooling beyond grade 6.
- With the support of the Australian Government through the Australian NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP) we implemented four innovative projects across Asia: developing apps to improve public awareness of welfare options in Sri Lanka and to keep children engaged in their schooling in Vietnam; producing a suite of online Positive Parenting resources for families in Cambodia, and creating tools to help thousands of egg farmers in the Philippines increase their yields.
- With support from the Australian Government through the Australian Humanitarian Partnership, we distributed more than $1 million in cash transfers to families in Ethiopia, helping them access food, healthcare, and education.

- We continued working hard to support children and young people to have their voices heard, whether it was sharing their views on the Australian Government's social media ban, or speaking up about climate change on the world stage.
- We fearlessly condemned grave violations against children in conflicts around the world, including Gaza, Lebanon and Sudan.
- We consistently and strongly advocated for children’s rights to be upheld, including here in Australia where we secured a private hearing of the Queensland Youth Justice Parliamentary Inquiry so they could talk directly with a young person from our youth justice programs.

- Our partnership with QBE Insurance Group Ltd enabled us to respond to eight disasters and implement six long-term disaster preparedness programs, ensuring children and their families are safe, educated, healthy and their wider communities are more resilient to the impacts of climate change.
- Special thanks to our other key partnerships in 2024: Western Desert Lands Aboriginal Corp (JamuKurnu-YapaliKunu); Westpac Foundation; IKEA Australia; GSK Australia; Meta; Minderoo; Bvlgari and CHARLES & KEITH.
- In 2024, 123 supporters kindly let us know about the gifts in their Wills. We are deeply grateful for these invaluable gifts that help ensure that we will be there for the next generation as they face increasingly complex challenges.
