Helping support Wujal Wujal Recovery after ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper
nib foundation donated $10,000 to Cape York Partnership to support more than 100 families of Wujal Wujal who are still displaced from their community due to the flooding from ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper.
Since the flooding in December, Cape York Partnership has been working in collaboration with many community organisations to support case coordination for the displaced Wujal Wujal families.
nib foundation’s donation has helped ensure families’ needs are met and they are connected with the right services. This includes financial counselling, social and emotional wellbeing support, transportation and other essential needs.
Cape York Partnership's Manager for Wujal Wujal Recovery, Audrey Deemal shared the funds went a long way to helping those affected. Residents shared that being away from home for such a long time takes a toll.
In excellent news, all Wujal Wujal families have now returned home, healthy and in good spirits.
