Work on the Our Community. Our Future. Our Homes remote housing program is progressing and providing many opportunities for residents living in remote communities.
For Hermannsburg resident, Rina Pepperill this meant contractors built an extra bedroom and enclosed the verandah. The exterior was also given a facelift, with a full repaint.
Rina expressed her gratitude for the work done saying “We’re so happy with it”.
Mildred Inkamala has also had a new bedroom added and her verandah enclosed as part of Room to Breathe work in her community.
“I’m so proud of what the contract mob has done to our houses,” she said.
Nicholas Ajax is one of the casual labourers who has found employment through the project as part of the Room to Breathe team working in Hermannsburg.
“I like this job, its good. It’s changing my thinking. I’m looking forward to my future," he said.
