Mala'la Health celebration

A little over three years ago Mala'la Health Service Aboriginal Corporation met with Orange Sky Australia who shared our vision to improve health outcomes for people in remote communities. 

Since the launch of the Manayingkarírra van in January 2020, our team have provided 
- 4,725 hours of connection
- 4,934 washing cycles
- 60,000kg of clean laundry 
To mark the van's 3rd birthday, community members were invited to join us for a celebration which opened with a welcome to country by Traditional Owner, David Jones. 

Mala'la's chairperson and Aboriginal health worker, Charlie Gunabarra then shared a few words about the important service the van provides to our community and encouraged families to keep using the free industrial size washing machines and dryers. 
A special thank you was given to our amazing Manayingkarírra Orange Sky team, Linton Nabegeyo and Gary Stewart, who were awarded with a Certificate of Appreciation for making it all happen on the ground. 
We would also like to thank Orange Sky Australia for their vision and support over the years. We look forward to the years ahead.
