Indigo-Atauro Friendship Committee

What we do on Atauro

  • We connect with the people of Atauro Island in the spirit of friendship.
  • We support the educational aspirations of the island’s young people by funding scholarships that allow them to complete their tertiary studies.
  • We respond to local health initiatives by funding the construction of composting toilets, purchasing medical equipment and local networking.

What we do in Indigo

  • We raise awareness and understanding of the culture, values, needs and ambitions of our friends on Atauro.
  • We raise funds for initiatives identified by the people of Atauro through events such as Curry Nights, Open Gardens and Cake Stalls at Community Markets.
  • We encourage people in the Shire and beyond to become regular donors to the Indigo Atauro Friendship group, which helps us to plan for the future with confidence.
