1. SevGen’s Soulful Work
Reference No: CP000OC

[paypal-donation]

SevGen is a visionary concept that will result in social innovation. Our 3E model is one that works hard for our own social enterprises to fund us. As you might know it takes time to get these ventures in the black so we also need help from our friends/supporters/donors.

By donating to CP000OC  you are helping us to keep doing what must be done to make a difference to the outcomes for our nations first peoples and ultimately for all the world. Please donate if you can and remember that all donations over $2 is tax deductible.

2. Modern Songlines
Reference No: CP001MS

[paypal-donation]

 

In 2014 it was brought to our attention that governmental decisions to close secondary schools in remote Northern Territory communities created a dire need for a creative solution. After intimate joining with elders and community leaders in the communities the Modern Songlines project was ideated and we committed to piloting a community led initiative that was co-founded and developed by Warlpiri leaders and SevGen.

After our 18months pilot period and 10 little mobs later it is being spoken of as Justice, Heatlh and Education Reinvestment.

The Modern Songlines project has a deep message of human permaculture and is the most meaningful project eva. Funds raised will contribute to connecting all to the dreamtime. Please get in touch to know it deeply.

Go to the Modern Songlines Gallery to see our photo album and to read the latest updates.

 3. Our Kanyini
Reference No: CP010OK

 

[paypal-donation]

Kanyini is a Yankunytjatjara (Central Desert) concept of unconditional love, popularised in a 2006 documentary Kanyini.by Kuminjai Uncle Bob Randall a much loved and missed elder, singer and community leader

SevGen references this theory of connectedness, caring and responsibility with the blessing of his widowed wife, Aunty Barb who said “He wanted people to use the word widely. It’s a beautiful word to use and apply”.

Our Kanyini’s goal of giving those who are the most vulnerable and sometimes fragile, a safe space to transition to life outside of gaol is a timely one, with the 2017 Closing the Gap report highlighting the over-representation of indigenous people in the criminal justice system.

Donate your time or skills as a volunteer

As we’ve mentioned, donation does not have to come in the form of money (though money does help!) Below are some of the types of skills we are currently in need of. If you can help, please fill in the form below and we’ll be forever grateful for your assistance!

GRANTS AND FUND WRITING
There are many funding opportunities that we qualify for. We are missing opportunities because this is a time consuming skill that needs to be presented in a particular way.

FILMING CREW
Ongoing (filled by John. If you would like to get experience in Photographic documentary work or film please join John’s team). We think that we have a story worth following and are seeking people who are interested in documentary work.
