About Us
The Maganda Makers Business Club is an initiative that has been established to empower Kimberley Indigenous Women to build wealth through business.
The Maganda Makers Business Club sits under the umbrella of Kimberley Jiyigas: www.kimberleybirds.com.au; a movement of Kimberley Indigenous women united in their passion to lead and speak in order to influence social change within their communities, region and nation.
What we do
The Maganda Makers Business Club has four core ACTIVITY categories:
- Community + Networking
- Tools + Resources
- Events
- Ventures
CAPACITY TO NAVIGATE THROUGH | CAPACITY TO MOVE BEYOND
The activities of the Club are designed to unlock your capacity as a Kimberley indigenous businesswoman to navigate through personal challenges and setbacks, such as addressing trauma trails; along with unleashing your capability and potential to move beyond a nano/micro business to a wealth-generating business.
A business that has moved from an aspiring idea into start-up mode, and from there …
A business that is emerging and gradually growing stronger, generating wealth that can be used for GOOD: wealth for you personally, your household, your family, and the communities that you are a part of.
Who is it for?
The Maganda Makers Business Club is for Kimberley Indigenous Women who are aspiring, emerging and growing as women in business.
Whether you have just a seed idea or you have been in business for more than 10 years this Club is YOUR PLACE: a safe place where you will be nurtured, championed and supported as a Ngaringga or Wiyi in Business.
The Club acknowledges that trauma (historical, intergenerational and current) may impact on your ability to operate your business successfully and sustainably. As such, the Club embeds trauma-informed care and practice in its activities; in other words the Club promotes a culture of SAFETY, EMPOWERMENT AND HEALING.

The Club’s mandate is to nurture, champion and support you to grow strong in business enabling you to ‘navigate through’ and ‘move beyond,’ so that you can more successfully and sustainably generate wealth through your business.
