Literacy for Life Foundation

We are an Aboriginal-run charity that trains local people to deliver literacy classes in their communities. We use an innovative campaign approach that has been adopted in locations around the world with great success - since 2012, we’ve been proving it works in Australia too.

We also know lifting adult literacy levels in a community leads to a cascade of positive impacts. In fact, lifting adult literacy levels in Aboriginal communities has the potential to be the game-changer in tackling Indigenous disadvantage.
