A PUBLIC 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.
Since 1988 Aboriginal Investment Group has engaged in development in Aboriginal communities. We are 100% Aboriginal owned and self-funded and we operate using a unique design of wealth creation and wealth distribution. Our goal is create wealth through investments and distribute wealth in the form of community projects. Remote Laundries is a perfect balance of community development and positive social outcomes.
HELP US RUN THE LAUNDRY
Washing clothes and bedding in Aboriginal communities is harder than you might think. Overcrowding creates daily challenges for people trying to wash their family’s clothes and bedding. A public laundry where people can rely on working machines, water, power and detergent helps to overcome these challenges and can break the cycle of disease and sickness common in Aboriginal communities.
Help us to run this vital service by donating:
Laundry detergent for
100 washes
$160
Costs to pay one laundry employee for one day
$184
Electricity to power 100 wash and 100 dry cycles
$149
“
We have been working with AIG to get a laundry in our community to wash our blankets, sheets and school uniforms.
- Esther Bulumbara
Chairperson of Bagala Aboriginal Corporation Board Barunga, NT
