Our business
We are packaging pure water from the natural spring on our land at Mandjawuy and selling it across Arnhem Land and around Australia.
This is a majority Yolngu business but we are working together with our Ngapaki partners. We are independent, but we are not alone – yaka gana.
Our dream
By supporting Knowledge Water you are helping create Yolngu jobs, Yolngu education and Yolgnu independence.
Knowledge Water is creating real, long-term jobs and making our community self-sufficient so we can take control of our destiny.
We are using our profits to fund our homeland school so we can continue to teach our children in a safe environment on our land.
We are also helping to train Yolngu people as teachers which is the key to keeping our culture strong for generations to come.
Our water
Knowledge Water is sustainably sourced from a rainforest spring in the heart of our homeland community at Mandjawuy in East Arnhem Land. Every year more than 1420mm of monsoon rain replenishes the spring, producing more water than we will ever use.
Our water is soft, sweet and so pure that we can package it in its natural form.
Treading a little lighter
In keeping with our deep connection to our land, our pack is made using paperboard from FSC certified renewable sources (plus a small amount of plant-based plastic) and has one of the lowest lifecycle carbon footprints of all major packaging formats. It is also recyclable, reusable and BPA free.
