Are our laundries worth the cost?
April 7, 2021
We want to know the value of our laundries, not just the social returns but the monetary value, and we have a model that shows they are incredible value for money.
A LAUNDRY CAN IMPROVE THE HEALTH
Of A WHOLE COMMUNITY
“We are truly excited about the potential to create lasting change to the health of people living in community”. Steve Smith, AIG CEO.
Remote Laundries Project improves the health and quality of life for people in remote communities and provides sustainable Indigenous employment opportunities. The project confronts and conquers challenging community issues, including the unacceptable statistic that seven out of ten Aboriginal children living in remote communities will contract scabies before their first birthday.
