Emerton WASH House Blacktown LGA

The project emerged as the result of a meeting mid 2011 at the Emerton Women's Activities & Self Help (WASH) House Emerton with Jenny Szymkow. The WASH House is a community based resource centre providing support, information, referral and offering a range of programs and activties for all women. Jenny's commitment to providing optimal services and opportunities for the women was inspiring. This included an objective to make the space beautiful. A week later the prospective TAFE Outreach teacher was negotiating a program called Growing the WASH House. This was the first of several connected TAFE Outreach Growing and Greening programs in the Mt Druitt area.
