WHAT WE DO
Let us not love in words and speech but with actions and in truth - 1 John 3:18
Current Programs
JDE currently has two distinct programs rooted in education
- one focusing on paying school fees for children in poverty in Zimbabwe especially the girl child prone to child marriage. The aim is to end child abuse, poverty and illiteracy by supporting and empowering the children by paying for their education.
- the other focusing on supporting women and children of domestic violence in Australia especially the psychological & emotional abuse through care packages. The aim is to spread the awareness of coercive control and empower to face the challenges with confidence by supplying care packages as well as books to help work on one’s inner self.
JDE believes through books one can learn to work on oneself for an improved version of themselves for their own wellbeing firstly and to share with the world in turn.

2. Supporting women and children of trauma in Australia
We realise the need for immediate help and DV awareness especially with the coercive control, the precursor to the physical that has featured in the news. The foundation aims to be supplementary to current organisations in Australia to help with supporting these women get the resources they need to get protection and give them hope to rebuild their lives and one day pass forward what they in turn learn for another to rebuild. We hope to give a voice to those who could not tell their own story and empower those who can.
