about us

Walk a While Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation based in the Northern Territory, has been involved with remote Indigenous communities for over 20 years.

With a view to empowering Indigenous creativity to enable lasting change, the Foundation facilitated the construction of a Cross on Memory Mountain, at the request of the local Indigenous communities. The Cross will provide employment and income for these communities through tourism and associated enterprises, and Walk a While will continue to facilitate training & development across tourism and the creative arts. Walk a While is also committed to working closely with the Directors and Members of Memory Mountain Limited to help establish and maintain sustainable enterprises for local Indigenous people.
