The Oaktree Foundation is an aid and development organisation run by volunteers under the age of 26. We're young people working together to end global poverty.

We believe that education is the most powerful force we have to change the world. Oaktree takes action by partnering with developing communities to make educational opportunities a reality.

Oaktree does three things:

• We fundraise for our projects in developing countries around the world. People of all ages donate, run events or get sponsored to help break the poverty cycle in places like East Timor, by providing life changing educational opportunities.

• We advocate for justice. We create and run eye catching education campaigns in Australia, raising community awareness about global poverty and our ability to end it. We then directly engage with all political leaders, calling on Australia to do our fair share to end global poverty by giving 0.7% of our Gross National Income in foreign aid.

• We help young people lead this movement for social change. As young people we aren't constrained by the cynicism, expectations or societal restrictions that can limit our ability to achieve real change. We embrace and celebrate our idealism and passion - and help young people harness those by providing the training, education and opportunities needed to end global poverty.
