Meet the 2012 Recipients below and show your support.

What is Little Paths Australia SSS Program?

Little Paths Australia SSS Program provides Secondary School Scholarships for the entire school life of a recipients' secondary school career.  It is a legal and humanitarian requirement that all ‘street child centre’s” provide educational opportunities for primary school aged children. 

Secondary school is not compulsory and for many children their educational experience ends at their final primary due to lack of financial resources.

Little Paths Australia offers scholarship support for street children or former street children who has been placed with family but still in need of support to continue their secondary education.
