By working hand-in-hand with local communities, the organisation restores dignity, improves health outcomes, and fosters employment pathways while amplifying community voices. Their work delivers both immediate relief and long-term change, built on trust, innovation, and place-based partnership.
2025 Pitch
Funds Raised: $87,300
Pitched at Healthy People Healthy Planet event for funding to support an on-country mobile plastic recycling plant that will enable remote Aboriginal communities to convert local waste into durable materials used to manufacture essential goods like beds and washing machines. Funding will support the equipment setup, skills training, and initial operations in partnership with local leaders, embedding circular economy principles while creating employment and reducing landfill.
