In 2017, our first water filtration system was installed in Pandanus Park, a remote Aboriginal community in WA’s Kimberley region. The system delivers over 5,000 litres of clean, safe drinking water daily, solving a long-standing issue with tap water contamination.
In 2022, the Yaru Foundation donated $40,000 to Engineers Without Borders to support a clean water project for the Lama Lama community in Far North Queensland. The project includes a solar-powered rainwater harvesting and filtration system, ensuring year-round access to safe drinking water in this remote region.
In 2018, as part of a 3 year program, we raised $133,000 to help improve eye health for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Funding from The Yaru Foundation helped to enable Red Dust and their local partner Mamanta, to pilot a new Healthy Living Program education module on Tiwi Country in the NT, to raise awareness of rheumatic heart disease.
