Your support helps realise dreams
By supporting Knowledge Water you are helping to realise the dreams of our family and our ancestors.
Knowledge Water will create real, long-term jobs and make our community self-sufficient so we can take control of our destiny.
We will also use our profits to fund our homeland school so we can continue to teach our children in a safe environment on our land.
Our long term plan is to train more Yolngu people as teachers which is the key to keeping our culture strong for generations to come.
The Munyuku Trust
Our family has a long history of producing educational leaders in our region. It was the dream of our late family leader and school principal, Nalwarri Ngurruwutthun, that this business would help revitalise Yolngu education.
Her vision was that the business would not only generate jobs and economic independence for our community, but also that it would generate funds that would be used to support our homeland school system and re-establish a pathway for tertiary trained Yolngu teachers to gain full tertiary qualification.
With this in mind, we have established the Munyuku Trust as a shareholder in our business. Munyuku Ltd is a registered charity with DGR status. It will raise funds and receive a share of profits from Knowledge Water with the goal of guaranteeing a full-time teacher at our school, providing educational resources for the homeland school network and eventually supporting Yolngu teachers to gain full tertiary qualification.
