Sharing Children’s Voices from Port Hedland
Faye Foai is a youth mentor at South Hedland’s Youth Involvement Council (YIC) and her advocacy through the End Child Poverty Campaign (ECP) helps ensure the voices of regional youth are represented in policy discussions and decision-making.
The ECP team visited Port Hedland in July 2026. Available data shows no issue with child poverty in the Pilbara region, which is one of Australia’s richest, but children living there tell a very different story.
In the video Faye shares her experiences of working with those children - of them being hungry, homeless and turned away from school for issues that can be traced back to living in poverty.
We want those voices heard by our decision makers, so on September 14 will take them to Parliament House so that politicians can listen to their powerful stories.
