Indigenous Literacy FoundationRegistered

The Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) is a national charity working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Remote Communities across Australia. We are Community led, responding to requests from remote Communities for culturally relevant books, including early learning board books, resources, and programs to support Communities to create and publish their stories in languages of their choice. In remote Communities across Australia there is often no infrastructure such as libraries or bookstores. Access to reading material is extremely limited and this impacts the literacy outcomes of Indigenous children. ILF s three programs, Book Supply, Book Buzz and Community Publishing Projects, focus on ensuring access to quality resources, including books in First Languages, publishing Community stories and empowering Communities and families to lead the entire process to ensure leadership, ownership, and authenticity is held with Community Elders and residents.
