Why We Exist
Lowana exists to support families in forming young women of integrity, confidence, and service.
At a time when young women face increasing pressure, Lowana helps them flourish. This, in turn, strengthens families and communities today and shapes leaders of tomorrow.
How Lowana Makes An Impact
Lowana creates an environment where girls and young women can grow into confident and capable individuals, supported by peers and mentors, guided by values, and empowered to contribute beyond themselves.
Supporting girls and young women to reach their potential
Through mentoring, leadership opportunities, and purposeful activities, Lowana helps girls and young women build character, confidence, and the skills they need to thrive in life.
Nurturing belonging and connection
Our clubs, programs, and shared experiences foster deep friendships, a strong sense of belonging, and supportive networks that positively influence family life, education, and professional pathways.
Strengthening communities through service and leadership
By encouraging community service and civic contribution, Lowana nurtures young women as agents of positive change, benefiting communities today and shaping a more compassionate society for the future.
Help Us Build Lowana's Future
Demand for Lowana’s programs and activities has grown significantly, and the current venue can no longer meet the needs of a rapidly developing Western Sydney. With your generous financial support, we can build an enduring YEH Lowana (Youth Empowerment Hub) facility that will help to shape the lives of girls and young women in Western Sydney for generations to come.
