“Kajji Nyirin Jurrah” (car gee nyeen jurrah) is the word for “guide” used by the Warumungu people whose land is in the Tennant Creek area of the Northern Territory.

The Kajji Foundation mission is:

to guide talented young Australians to achieve their potential for themselves and their communities.

There are many young Australians with ambitions or goals that can seem a whole world away.  It is our belief that every young Australian has the right to have ambitions and the right to fulfill their potential in chasing their goals.  It is our intention to help young people dare to set goals in a field in which they show potential and provide them with the framework to pursue those goals to the best of their ability.

We believe that by assisting these young people to fulfill their potential, the benefits can be far reaching.  We believe that the frameworks we provide can help participants reach a sense of self that promotes a high degree of self-confidence and a firmly held belief that they can create the world in which they want to live.  That they can have dreams and chase them.  In doing so it is anticipated that participants will become leaders and act as role models for younger children in their communities when they return, letting them know that they too are able to fulfill their potential.

The Kajji Foundation does not operate alone and will not take on the task of assisting a young person without a network of supporters available to deliver the assistance in all areas. We are not interested only in the young person achieving excellence in their area of talent. We are looking towards assisting young people becoming well rounded individuals with a broad general education and understanding of Australian society and the world at large.
