The Jimmy Little Foundation successfully secured funding from Medicines Australia for a mobile renal dialysis truck to be based in Alice Springs that will be managed and run by the Western Desert Nganampa Walytja Palyantjaku Tjutaku Aboriginal Corporation (WDNWPT) which will be on the road December 2011.
This project allows people to go home for short periods of time and dialyse on their community.
Medicines Australia also funded the Thumbs Up! Schools Program which continues to spread the preventative messages to young people and communities in remote Australia in an effort to fight the high proportion of diabetes and kidney disease in Indigenous Australians.
