OUR STORY
The Kain Foundation works alongside our community partners to create opportunities for children and young people to realise their potential. We believe in a two-way opportunity, for children and young people to thrive and for our volunteers and donors to experience their impact through direct engagement with our projects. We exist quite simply to enrich lives.
OUR PROJECTS
We focus on creating opportunities for children and young people to reach their potential in Australia and Uganda by working with organisations that build capacity of individuals and communities to be socially and economically independent. We do this by providing much needed financial resources, as well as hands on and in-kind support with help from our businesses and corporate partners.
Project Impacts & Opportunities
Testimonials
I first met Kain Foundation when my Year 10 students at Salisbury High School took part in their Work Inspiration workshop in December 2017. After taking part in the Foundation’s annual immersion trip to Uganda in August 2017, I was so impressed by the impact and outcomes of their projects that I joined their board to help them expanding these projects. I know that any student who signs up for the School 4 Schools campaign can make a positive difference in the lives of children in Uganda, and gain valuable life skills through the experience.

Kain Lawyers’ commitment to community is part of our DNA and was a driving force behind the creation of the business. We recognise that our business and those who work within it occupy a position of rare privilege, and we deeply believe that with that privilege comes a responsibility to use it for the benefit of others.
The Kain Foundation is our vehicle for contributing to our community through a unique mix of donor support and volunteering. The Foundation helps every member of our team to give back and also to get ‘hands on’ with a project designed to create opportunities for children and young people, in Australia and internationally. These experiences are enormously rewarding and enriching for our staff, as well as the communities we work with.
We’re incredibly proud of the work of the Foundation does alongside its community partners, and our involvement in it.
