The MaraWay is a bold new
approach to changing lives and
strengthening our community.
It's a little bit different, and it's working.

The MaraWay is a way for Cairns to have a hand in
strengthening our community.
We’re a hands-on, no-frills,
compassionate bunch.
Cool. But what is The MaraWay and what’s this bold new approach?
We thought you’d ask that.
The MaraWay is a not-for-profit organisation in Cairns rolling up its sleeves to tackle the tough issues in our community.
But we’re doing it a little bit differently.
OK. So which bucket of funding supports this new approach?
Aha! There is no bucket. That’s what makes us really different. You see, we asked the “what if we weren’t restricted by government funding?” question. That’s when we had the light bulb moment and knew we had to do it differently.
Interesting. But what’s with the name? What does The MaraWay mean?
Mara means ‘hands’ in the Djabugay language.
You see, we lend a pragmatic hand (some might call it tough love) to help people help themselves.
We also believe it’s time to put the future of our community into local hands and get off the merry-go-round of good intentions and wasted resources.
It’s time for Cairns to make a difference.
An inspiration to us all
For Louise, life was all consumed with stuff we don’t need to spell out. It was a tough upbringing that made it unbelievably difficult for a young woman to survive, let along dream big. But in 2017 that all changed.
