iDreamingTV (formerly Yaitya Makkitura Inc.)
iDreamingTV is a South Australian Aboriginal Film and New Media advocacy organisation that empowers the SA Aboriginal community to develop a vibrant and artistic presence which reflects the Aboriginal cultural diversity of the state. iDreamingTV is building the capacity of the community in new and growing art forms which will provide the foundation from which individuals or groups of artists can emerge. This is made possible through the cultural approach which iDreamingTV takes with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across South Australia. Presented by Arts Skills facilitator David Wilson.
Zahra Foundation Australia
Zahra Foundation Australia was initiated by Central Domestic Violence Service and the children of Zahra Abrahimzadeh to specifically address the financial abuse and disadvantaged experienced by women as a result of domestic and family violence. Zahra Foundation instils hope and optimism in the lives of women and their children, and provides a range of financial and educational opportunities that promote women’s economic empowerment. Programs offered through the Foundation support women’s immediate crisis needs through small grant opportunities and tailored financial literacy programs that promote financial independence and link women to further education, training and employment.
