Kingdom Investment Fund

As the cost of living, and interest rates continue to rise, families can no longer afford to pay their rent and mortgages. Many households struggle to put food on the table, pay for petrol, medication, energy, and other bills. Stress, anxiety, and uncertainty has become an everyday part of many lives. Along with these pressures, mental health concerns, family violence, isolation, and relationship breakdown, are regular concerns.


At CLCC we have a team of 9 Counsellors, Psychologists and Allied health professionals. Where necessary we subsidise counselling, so that no one misses out on being able to access the help they need. We regularly engage Men, women, children, youth, couples, and families faced with life challenges such as relationship concerns, mental health, grief, loss, addiction, and parenting issues.


It is heart-warming to know that last year, your tax deductable giving helped provide: 1143 counselling sessions, 1186 mentoring sessions, 2377 welfare appointments, 1478 food parcels, over $2800 in vital medicines, $16,000 in material assistance such as blankets, clothes etc. 724 connections in groups and multiple referrals to homeless and Family violence organisations and specialist services. Staff and our wonderful volunteers also hosted families for two very special events, celebrating Easter and Christmas.

We simply want to say THANK YOU, your generosity, helps people find hope and a way forward in very challenging times.

Our team have identified that the practice is rampant in around 3,000 villages in Southern India. Our staff connect with several of these women, providing healthcare, vocational training and empowering them to leave the practice.


We are currently active in 240 villages, where we are seeing dedications decrease, and the women discovering dignity and hope,


They receive tailoring training, small business grants and other means of providing for their families.

Many of the women who were freed from the practice, through the efforts of our Field Partners, return to the villages and become our eyes and ears, connecting our team with at-risk girls; and helping other women to leave the practice. Your contribution to the Kingdom Investment Fund will enable our field partners continue their work in providing freedom to hundreds of women who are trapped in the cycle of sexual exploitation.

Construction of the Junior Secondary building at Narre Warren South commenced in early 2023. The two-storey building will provide general learning areas for students Years 7 to 9, along with breakout spaces, specialist music classrooms, learning support classrooms, and staff spaces. It is anticipated that the project will cost around $11 million.


Unfortunately, the builder went into voluntary administration early in the project, delaying the project by a couple of months. A new builder has now been engaged and the project is anticipated to be completed early in Term 2, 2024.


The three-storey North Wing project at our Wantirna South campus was completed in October 2022. The new building provides, at ground level, a Reception and Admissions area and a Food Studies/Café precinct; a second level containing eight new Primary classrooms and associated breakout spaces and; a third level consisting of Administration and Staff areas. Staff and students are delighted with the new building and the enhanced opportunities it provides.


Now that the North Wing project has been completed, construction of the South Wing building has commenced. The single storey Secondary Wing has been demolished to make way for the new two-storey South Wing which will provide Secondary classrooms, senior student study areas, social spaces, links to the library and oval, and staff spaces. It is anticipated that the total cost for this project will be around $13 million. At the time of writing, in ground services have been completed and the ground floor slab and columns have been poured.
