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. To support this, Orange Sky works alongside remote communities to build impact through free laundry, local employment and local partnerships.
Nganmarriyanga is a remote community founded by the Wodidj family, located 40 minutes drive away from Wadeye.
Orange Sky established a laundry service in Nganmarriyanga in December 2023 to support local residents. Our Nganmarriyanga service provides residents access to free laundry and a safe space for yarning.
An enormous thank you to our service partner Thamarrurr Development Corporation, for supporting and helping to deliver this serivce. We are grateful to the local team and Nganmarriyanga residents trusting us with their laundry and ongoing yarns.
We acknowledge and thank Nganmarriyanga Traditional Custodians for welcoming Orange Sky into their community.
Nganmarriyanga is currently unfunded
