Leading Social Change
Lazarus Manbulloo, not yet 30 years old, has worked tirelessly to overcome the struggling and despair of men living in Jawoyn Country around Katherine NT. He is bringing cultural songlines back to life, founded a culturally-led men’s support group, established a calendar of cultural events for men and, alongside other leaders in the Jawoyn community, spearheaded the creation of a unique culturally led mental health space for men. He has achieved all of this in the face of his own grief, overwhelm and loneliness, a feat he credits to the power of Culture and Country.
