In less than 100 words, what is your idea?:
Many remote Aboriginal Communities need on the ground independent, practical and effective help with day to day tasks. Access to healthy fresh food is one way the average Australian could help our Indigenous people - how can this be achieved using the web ? I don't know but wanted to put it " out there". My recent trip to Papunya highlighted to very real and practical ways people can help support these communities.
What is the social need or challenge your idea could address?:
Hundreds and hundreds of Aboriginal poeple live in isolated parts of our beautiful country, with limited or no access to public transport to get them to doctors appointments and to bring fresh food to them. Many of these communities are very low income family units and the high cost of transport and basic fruit and vegetables limit their choices considerably. Junk food is a quick and cheaper option for them adding to the huge problem of adult and child diabetes, heart and kidney problems.
What’s really new about your idea?:
Hasn't been considered much before by the average Australian....There is NO NATIONAL charity in Australia 100% focussed to Aboriginal People...That's a worry isn't it? Mission Australia and Red Cross do have Aboriginal prgrams however.
