KRED Enterprises Charitable Trust

Marlamanu is an Aboriginal-led response to address the cycle of Aboriginal youth offending in the Kimberley by offering an immersive, culturally safe on-Country diversion program for our at-risk young people. Marlamanu will transform the lives of at-risk Kimberley Aboriginal youth by supporting them to experience a life of purpose, accomplishment and connection centred on a working Aboriginal pastoral station. A separate family program, that operates alongside Marlamanu will support the young people through our program. The grant would support family and caregivers to visit, stay overnight and participate in cultural activities with their young men at Marlamanu. The families would be engaged prior to coming to site, supported (financially and logistically) to get to site, offered specialised activities on site, assisted to return to their home and provided with ongoing support when their young person returns to their community. The objective is to create a community/network of support for the young person and their family.
