Local Project
*Current Opportunity* Mimal Water & Sanitation Project
The Mimal Ranger Base is the hub that provides land management and support services across the wider Central Arnhem Land community and encompasses 20,000 square kms of diverse land systems including rock country, woodlands and freshwater places. In addition to caring for Country, the Ranger Base provides a women’s ranger program, land management education for young people, learning on country program, ceremony and language programs and a health clinic among other services.
Project
Access to water and sanitation infrastructure has been identified by Mimal Land Management as a key priority in their Healthy Country Plan to meet the needs of the community, now and into the future.
Together with IWSH (International Water, Hygiene and Sanitation Foundation), the Reece Foundation and volunteer tradies, this project will deliver a culturally appropriate, practical and sustainable water supply and waste management system at the Mimal Ranger Base.
10 volunteer plumbers will be travelling to the Mimal Ranger Base in the first two weeks of August. We're grateful for the support of Reece, Vinidex and Grundfos who have donated their products and expertise to help deliver this project.
