Shout-out to The Smith Family

We would like to acknowledge the support we are receiving through The Smith Family in funding our program in the remote NT communities of Kalkaringi and Yarralin.

The Smith Family Katherine Region is a facilitating partner for the federally funded Communities for Children program. Through this initiative EON has received multiple-year funding to partner with Kalkaringi and Yarralin. We are currently in Year 3 of our 5-year program and its been an amazing journey to date. In addition to great engagement with the schools, we have had the opportunity to work with CDP, Child and Parent Associations, and local Women’s Groups.  The two communities are about a 6-hour drive from Katherine and are regularly subject to wet season flooding. Early this year the communities were isolated for extended periods, and the lack of food security received national attention. We are grateful to The Smith Family for its support of our program, which contributes to providing a local supply of fresh garden produce
