YAAMA - HELLO
Yaama is a Gamilaroi greeting meaning ‘hello’.
Wuu-rri is also a Gamilaroi word meaning ‘to give’.
Together, these words reflect the spirit of reciprocity, respect and community that underpins our work.
WHY WUU-RRI EXISTS
Established by the NSW Indigenous Chamber of Commerce, Wuu-rri operates a national social enterprise model that transforms commercial activity into sustainable funding for Indigenous entrepreneurship.
Indigenous economic empowerment is about more than income — it is about self-determination, leadership and the ability for communities to shape their own futures.
Through partnership and participation, Wuu-rri reinvests revenue into programs that strengthen capability, build youth leadership and support long-term economic participation across Australia.
HOW IT WORKS
Wuu-rri’s model is simple and scalable:​
Vending Partnerships → Revenue Generated → Reinvestment → Indigenous Enterprise Impact

Every transaction contributes to something bigger.
