“…New Horizons, in supporting women to take on second chance learning and new research opportunities, is engaged in social change and helping to eliminate poverty from our community.

That’s because we know that a mother’s education is crucial to the educational prospects of her children. Because we know that education is the key to eliminating inter-generational poverty”.
