INDIGENOUS ARTWORK SALE AT MEEKA TO RAISE FUNDS FOR CLEAN WATER

Three thousand, seven hundred and eighty dollars has been raised for the Buttah Windee community near Meekatharra to help purchase a solar bore pump, pipework and a new pressure pump so they can have clean drinking water.

The water at Buttah Windee is contaminated with uranium and Yamatji man, Andrew Binsiar started a Crowd-Fund me page in August to help raise twenty-six thousand dollars to cover the cost to produce drinking water. He's thrilled with the support.

"We've had a lot of well-wishers and people have offered advice on how we can fix it .. still nothing set in concrete. The Go-Fund me page has actually blown me away, the generosity of the Australian public is amazing."

Mr Binsiar is not asking for a 'handout but a hand-up' and he is hosting an art sale event this Sunday at Buttah Windee.

"We are not a govt funded community, the govt left us, nine years ago when we found the uranium. We're going to do it ourselves and it's going to put a big smile back on the Australian community because without them we wouldn't have raised four grand that we've got."

The artwork below has been created by Andrew Binsiar and he is selling these pieces on Sunday.
