HIPPY Outcomes
HIPPY empowers
“HIPPY has not only given me my confidence back but taught me so much about myself as a mum, a teacher and as a person. I have learned some wonderful new skills through being a Home Tutor and met some amazing people from all over our community. I finished my two-year HIPPY journey today and HIPPY has opened so many doors for me. I’m now looking forward to working at the crèche that is operated by the same organisation that provides HIPPY in our community.”
