Puuya Foundation has experienced a successful year, but there is still work that needs to be done. Within the past year, our early years parenting programs have consistently engaged over 30 families, providing them with valuable support and benefiting from our comprehensive family initiatives. Our SONG program, which aims to nurture the next generation of leaders, works closely with local parents and children, fostering resilient families dedicated to learning together from birth. The program also engages around 10-15 youth weekly, recognising and embracing each child’s unique educational journey.

There is exciting news for 2024. We will offer community childcare services, supporting parents and caregivers in their personal growth. Notably, we were among eight remote communities to secure Commonwealth funding for this initiative.
