"To provide for the literacy needs of the most disadvantaged, marginalized and isolated Indigenous Australians living in rural and remote communities"

Mission Statement The Aboriginal Literacy Foundation is a charitable Not-for-Profit Foundation established to provide for the literacy needs of the most disadvantaged, marginalized and isolated Indigenous Australians living in rural and remote communities. The Foundation seeks to improve the poor literacy level amongst Indigenous Australians, as with the life expectancy is approximately a third lower than European Australians.  It is only through improving literacy skills that Indigenous Australians will have a greater opportunity to complete further education or secure employment.  The correlation between literacy levels and rates of anti social behaviour and criminal activity is well known in both the non-Indigenous and Indigenous community.  The greatest single benefit we can provide for Aboriginal Australians outside health and longevity is literacy.
