Recipient story
Young person with economic hardship has educational needs
GIVIT
My client is a 14 year old teenager who arrived in Australia five years ago. The family fled their country of origin due to conflict and he and his siblings have never received formal education. School has thus been a bit challenging. The family relies on Centrelink for income as his parents do not have the language skills to work in Australia. This has had an impact my client and his siblings' educational development. They can't afford some basics. Further, they do not have educational support from their parents because their parents are illiterate and have no formal education.
My client is a bright boy and his favourite subjects are English and Math. However, he finds Math difficult without a calculator. He neither has a phone nor a personal laptop which inhibits practising and learning. He wants to improve his Math as he hopes to become an engineer.
