Indigenous Literacy Foundation will be working with Crewmen on joint initiatives for fundraising and fundraising events.
Indigenous Literacy Foundation provides books in First Languages and learning resources to children and families living in remote Communities across Australia.
Literacy provides a fundamental step of building context, comprehension and understanding, whether it is written, visual or auditory. For kids who miss that foundational step in their literacy journey, it has a lifelong impact.
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 achievements of Indigenous children.
ILF focuses on ensuring access to quality resources including books in First Languages, publishing community stories and supporting communities allowing families to lead the entire process, ensuring leadership, ownership, and authenticity is held with community elders and residents.
Their mission is to instil a love of reading from an early age as reading opens doors – doors to future opportunities and choices.
