Orange Sky Australia is committed to providing access to clean clothes, warm showers and genuine, non-judgemental conversation for all Australians. In remote communities, access to laundry services can be limited and cost prohibitive.
Gapuwiyak is a remote East Arnhem community on the shore of Lake Evella, located 550 kilometres east of Darwin, Northern Territory. Orange Sky’s Gapuwiyak service works alongside the community to build impact through free laundry, local employment and local partnerships.
Under our collaborative partnership model, Orange Sky’s Gapuwiyak service is made possible by our community partner Arnhem Land Progress Aboriginal Corporation. We are grateful to the Traditional Custodians – Gupapuyngu and Yolŋu people – our community partner, and Gapuwiyak residents for allowing Orange Sky to provide the community with a safe and respectful place for laundry and connection.
Our Remote Vehicle 3.0 (RV3.0) brings essential laundry services to remote Australian communities. Designed for rugged conditions, it features three washers and Waru Dryers, and uses advanced solar technology to enhance service reach effectively.
