Women’s Yarn and Craft program
PROGRAM OUTLINE:
The program provides a space for women of all ages to connect,
yarn and create. It provides a safe space to discuss the challenges and create our own solutions. We work with partners including Cape York Institute, Cape York Partnerships, Apunipima, Qld Health, RFDS and DET.
Dads on Duty
PROGRAM OUTLINE:
Hosting our dads at outdoor play day creates a learning environment where male parents and carers participate in their children’s early years of the educational journey.

Senior High School Girls program
PROGRAM OUTLINE:
The Youth engagement program offers an after school and holiday program for youth to engage and participate in activities that are fun, creative and nurturing. We work with partners to deliver activities and learning in a fun environment. We work with the State School to reengage high school girls whose attendance rates are low, providing them with an educational environment focused on life skills and developing unique career pathways.
This innovative offering was created in 2021 as an incentivised scheme
to build participation in programs. We recognise that attending the Early
Years and Parenting Program, Women’s Leadership, Dads on Duty, and Youth Club builds stronger individuals, families, and clan groups and as a result – a stronger community.
To encourage participation, the Puuya Bucks Store was created.
Initially, a secondhand store where points were earned through attendance at these programs gave you ‘Puuya Bucks’ to purchase
at the secondhand store.
From this, a partnership evolved with Thread Together – a global first, not-for-profit that works with more than 700+ Fashion Brands. The result is only new clothing store in Lockhart River offering clothing, underwear, shoes, and hats for community members, but only purchased
with Puuya Bucks.
