Helping Cultivate Country

Help Change the Lives of Indigenous Australians

Help us support our communities and our way of life - creating positive and prosperous futures.

Around Australia thousands of young and older Indigenous Australians are living in poverty, dependent on welfare and in danger of becoming affected by drugs, alcohol and domestic violence. Traditional family units and culture are being lost as is vital unique knowledge about plants and cultivation methods that are unique to the Australian landscape.

Native food growers such as Pat Mamanyjun Torres from West Kimberly and Max and Ruth Emery from Rainbow Valley, NT in conjunction with the Outback Spirit Foundation know there is a better way but they need your help.

This is a unique opportunity to provide young indigenous Australians sustainable employment opportunities to help them to regain pride and self-esteem as they find out how indigenous knowledge can be appreciated and acknowledged. At the same time supporting the future of sustainable agriculture. Proven programs developed around the supply of bush foods can help these families move out of the poverty trap and cycle of welfare dependency and lack of hope. They can provide the raw ingredients to produce healthy, chemical free, in demand products unique to outback Australia and Aboriginal culture and heritage.

Your tax deductible donation will enhance the prosperity of Australia by supporting the longer term viability of Australian indigenous communities, their culture and aboriginal knowledge of bush food. It will help to grow a unique Australian industry in iconic areas such as Yorke Peninsula, Broome, Alice Springs, Cooktown and the Kimberley Region.
