Helping Young Adults Prepare for Their Next Chapter.
Growing up and leaving care can be a major transition. Young adults need more than a place to go. They need confidence, practical skills, experience and opportunities to help them build an independent future.
Little Hearts Mission aims to support young adults as they take their next steps beyond care.
Our Focus
Personal Development
Building confidence, self-awareness and the ability to make positive choices.
Skills Training
Providing opportunities to learn practical and vocational skills.
Work Readiness
Helping young adults develop the skills and experience needed to enter the workforce.
Volunteer Opportunities
Creating opportunities to gain experience, contribute to the community and develop new skills.
Livelihood Opportunities
Exploring pathways that can help young adults develop sustainable sources of income.
Social Enterprise
Working towards opportunities where young adults can gain experience through social enterprise and community-based initiatives.
Preparing for Independence
Our goal is to help young adults feel more prepared for life beyond residential care. We want to help create pathways where they can develop their skills, gain experience, discover their strengths and build confidence in their ability to shape their own future.
Everyone Deserves an Opportunity to Begin Again.Little Hearts Mission will continue working with local organisations, businesses and community partners to develop practical opportunities for young adults.
Helping every child learn, dream and believe in their future.
Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, explore, create and feel valued — including children with disabilities and children on the autism spectrum.
The Little Hearts Kids Club is an inclusive education and creative support program for children and young people in Vietnam and the Philippines. Through age-appropriate and, where possible, individually suitable resources, we aim to make learning more accessible, enjoyable and meaningful.
But it’s more than giving. It’s the meaning behind it.
How the Kids Club Works
A Child Becomes a Member
For as little as $10, a child can join the Little Hearts Kids Club and receive their Welcome Kit.
We recognise that children learn and develop differently. Where possible, resources will be selected according to their age, abilities, interests and individual learning needs.
They Receive Something New Each Month
Members can receive different educational and creative resources throughout the year, such as:
- Workbooks
- Storybooks
- Activity and colouring books
- Pencils, pens and stationery
- Educational and sensory-friendly activities
- Reading and learning resources
- A special birthday gift
The aim is not simply to provide the same materials every month, but to offer new opportunities for learning, creativity and discovery.
We Celebrate Their Birthday
Every child deserves to feel special.
Where possible, Kids Club members will receive a birthday gift, helping them feel remembered, valued and celebrated.

Every Child Belongs
An Inclusive Kids Club
Little Hearts Kids Club welcomes children with disabilities and children on the autism spectrum.
We understand that not every child learns in the same way. Some children may benefit from visual learning, sensory-friendly activities, simplified instructions, larger print, hands-on resources or activities suited to their individual abilities.
Where possible, we aim to provide resources that are inclusive, accessible and appropriate for each child's needs.
Sponsor a Child

A monthly kit may seem small, but to a child it can mean having something new to look forward to, something to learn from and something that encourages them to keep dreaming.

We want every child — regardless of their abilities or circumstances — to have opportunities to learn, be creative, discover their strengths and imagine a brighter future.

EVERY CHILD BELONGS
An Inclusive Kids Club
Little Hearts Kids Club welcomes children with disabilities and children on the autism spectrum.
Some children need visual learning, sensory-friendly activities, simplified instructions, larger print, hands-on resources or a little extra time, and we build that flexibility in from the start.
We shape every resource to fit each child's needs, so it's inclusive, accessible and built specifically around who they are, not a one-size-fits-all version of childhood.
Sponsor a Child
Ten Dollars a Month Changes What's Possible.For $10 a month, you can sponsor a child to join the Little Hearts Kids Club. Your gift funds their monthly education and creative resources, and helps make sure their birthday doesn't pass unnoticed.
A sponsorship is never just a transaction. It tells a child something words alone can't:
A monthly kit might look small from the outside. To a child, it means something to open, something to learn from, and proof that someone kept their promise to show up again.
Connecting Australia With Children Around the World
Little Hearts Mission connects caring supporters across Australia with children and young people in Vietnam and the Philippines, building bridges that go far beyond a single monthly donation, one real connection at a time.
The Kids Club reaches children through four channels:
With the right safeguards in place, sponsors can receive letters or messages from the child they support, turning a monthly gift into a real, genuinely ongoing connection across countries and cultures.
More Than a Monthly Kit
The Little Hearts Kids Club was never just about handing out supplies. It's about steady encouragement, real inclusion and doors that stay open.
We want every child, regardless of ability or circumstance, to explore new ideas, discover what they're good at and picture a future worth working toward.
As the Kids Club grows, these are the resources we're adding next:
We're building this program around the real needs of the children we support, not the other way around.
Become Part of Their Journey
Ten dollars a month gives a child something to open, something to learn from, and proof that somebody out there is rooting for them.
