Manapan Furniture

Manapan is a self-sufficient and self-funded enterprise owned and operated by the Yolngu people. The enterprise is supported by ALPA, the largest employer of Aboriginal people in Australia. Manapan provides work experience programs for the students of the local school, building on the students' skills, talents and interests. Through the Manapan Academy, training is provided for local people in carpentry and joinery skills with the vision that they will combine these skills with their creative talents to enable them to graduate to our main workshop.

Manapan strives to empower the local people by providing a pathway to full time employment and recognizing and celebrating their traditional talents and contemporary skills. We build relationships to bridge the gap between Indigenous and non-indigenous people through working together. It is the dream of all involved to see the children and grandchildren working within the community and gaining the skills and qualifications that will sustain their community for future generations.
