Wunan is an Aboriginal development organisation in the East Kimberley, with a clear purpose and strategy to drive long-term socio-economic change for Aboriginal people by providing real opportunities, investing in people’s abilities, and by encouraging and rewarding aspiration and self-responsibility.
Wunan’s PURPOSE is to ensure that Aboriginal people in the East Kimberley enjoy the capabilities and opportunities necessary to make positive choices that lead to independent and fulfilling lives – essentially, to have dreams and a real chance of achieving them.
A key OBJECTIVE for Wunan is to shift the balance of dependence of Aboriginal people on welfare from 80% to 20% over 20 years. This objective is based on a clear guiding philosophy that Aboriginal success grows from investing in people’s ability, real opportunity, and reward for effort. We facilitate long term and sustainable change by focusing on our strategic priorities:
EDUCATION / EMPLOYMENT / HOUSING & ACCOMMODATION / WELFARE REFORM / LEADERSHIP
Education – Innovative, long-term solutions in education create opportunities for children, young people and families to build a positive future for themselves.
Employment – Delivering direct employment and training outcomes for Aboriginal people to grow independent income-earning capacity and reduce welfare dependency.
Housing & Accommodation – Providing housing solutions that underpin family stability, employment and educational opportunities.
Welfare Reform – Wunan has long championed welfare reform as being critical to improving the lives and opportunities of Indigenous people in the East Kimberley and our advocacy in this area has been important in building a strong case for change within government.
Leadership – Strengthening the leadership and organisational capacity of Indigenous organisations is critical to improving the health, wellbeing and prosperity of Aboriginal communities.
Our PHILOSOPHY is to help those who want to help themselves
Wunan has a demonstrated track record of successfully implementing projects that create pathways for Indigenous people to achieve tangible outcomes and improved life choices.
