Indigenous Literacy Project

The Indigenous Literacy Project believes that Australia's Indigenous people should enjoy the same education, employment and societal opportunities as other citizens.

However, a lack of literacy skills in Indigenous communities is a common and critical barrier to participating in activities that many of us take for granted.

To help alleviate this literacy disadvantage, The Fred Hollows Foundation is working in close partnership with remote Indigenous communities to supply books and other culturally appropriate learnings to schools, libraries, early learning centres such as crèches, women's centres and other identified institutions, to enhance their pool of literacy resources.
