Riverina Small Communities Project


Over the past couple of years NERRCS or North East Riverina Rural Counseling Service, has put in place a project to build capacity in small, drought affected villages.

The project manager Yvonne Hitchenor stated that the networks core role of the network is to build capacity in the villages within the networks bounds. This particular network is well funded and supported. The network has many talented service providers as members who have formed informal partnerships to service the villages in a variety of ways.

An example of partnering with other service providers would be Julie and myself offering workshops in Tallimba and Weethalle under the auspice of Sarah Heinjus a community health worker in the area.
