OUR PROGRAMS

We develop programs on our own initiative or in collaboration with other organisations or individuals based on successful grant applications or our own funding.

Watu Australia is a project about people, for people.

This is a community-curated platform, run by a collective of African-Australians. We aim to share the voices and experiences of people like us, one story at a time.

Our aim is to challenge the stereotypes about African communities. It’s about elevating migrant stories. It’s about positive representation. And, most importantly, it’s about demystifying the perception of African-Australian youth.

Watu Australia is supported by a partnership of the Scanlon Foundation, Incubate Foundation and Think HQ.
