"The Indigenous Literacy Foundation is helping to open the door to our young people's dreams," Sally Morgan, Ambassador.

Help us address literacy and improve the lives and opportunities of young Indigenous children growing up in the remotest parts of Australia.

The Indigenous Literacy Foundation advocates and raises funds to deliver culturally appropriate books to over 200 remote communities across Australia.  The foundation is working in a small number of communities trialling an early literacy project aimed at babies and preschool children.  It also translates books into local language and works hand in hand with remote communities on literacy projects. ILF was established in 2006 by educator and bookseller Suzy Wilson and is an initiative of the Australian Book Industry.

"...for some of the parents this is the first time they have sat down and read a story with their child, so it is great that we have these wonderful books available for them"
