The YEH Lowana Project: A Vision for Empowerment
We are in the first stages of constructing a purpose-built centre that will accommodate the growing community of girls and women attending Lowana activities. The Lowana Youth Empowerment Hub (YEH Lowana) is more than just a building – it’s a catalyst for change in Western Sydney.
The YEH Lowana project is a significant $5.1 million investment in the future of Western Sydney. The NSW Government’s Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants (WSIG) Program will fund $2.7 million and AEPL Lowana will provide the remainder. This is where your support becomes crucial.
