The Walytjapiti (caring for family together) Program’s vision is for Anangu families to remain healthy and positive about the future. To live in strong and independent communities where there is increased socioeconomic equality, children are in school and adults are meaningfully engaged.

These are communities where people are proud of their cultural identity, celebrate its rich and dynamic nature and raise happy, healthy children.
