Fatima has a real commitment to bettering the lives of young people. She is focussed, passionate and committed to making the Wollongong region an even better place for young people to live, learn, and connect.

She is an active member of Keira High Schools Student Representative Council where she has been supported in developing her concepts of a Youth Green Space for students and the Garden Initiative Project. This project focuses on creating eco-friendly spaces around Wollongong, especially a community garden where young people can grow their own plants, fruits, and vegetables. It gives students a place to connect with nature, learn hands-on gardening skills, and grow fresh produce that we can share with the community. The garden also includes areas for relaxation and socialising, with shaded seating, study spots, and regular workshops on sustainability.

Fatima's projects have demonstrated an insightful symbiosis to marry all the elements of what young people need while enhancing our broader Wollongong community.
