OUR BENEFICIARY PARTNER
Her Futures Foundation
The seed of the Her Futures Foundation started growing in 2020 when Real Futures partnered with UN Women to create a groundbreaking pilot program called Women’s Business Hub. The pilot was an incredible success and highlighted the deep need for culturally-led, one-on-one education, employment and wellbeing support for First Nations Women in Sydney and across Australia.
Established in March 2023, the Her Futures Foundation is dedicated to empowering First Nations women across Australia through employment, education, enterprise, and cultural and social support.
Over 70% of Western Sydney based Indigenous women
identified housing and finances as a major barrier to entering the workforce or engaging in study; most have difficulty affording
rent and mortgages.
Transportation is also an issue with 32% of current participants without a vehicle or driver’s licence.
Another 28% identified serious health barriers; physical and mental.
Finally, 22% have parenting and caring responsibilities.
