Story
Hi there!
We are gearing up for making a difference by fundraising for a cause that's close to the University Library's heart.
Wednesday September 2nd is Indigenous Literacy Day, and this year the Library is reaching out for your support on behalf of the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF).
Why is it important?
Only 36% of Indigenous Year 5 students in very remote areas are at or above national minimum reading standards, compared to 96% for non-Indigenous students in major cities, according to the 2018 National Assessment Program for Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN).
Many remote communities don’t have many, if any, books. Most of the remote communities that the Indigenous Literacy Foundation work with report there are fewer than five books in family homes.
The approach to raising literacy levels starts at a community level with the help of the Indigenous Literacy Foundations many programs, including ‘Book Supply’ where appropriate quality books are gifted to organisations operating in remote communities.
The Indigenous Literacy Foundation programs aren’t possible without a regular sustainable income to plan and deliver effective solutions and they need your support.
By supporting the ILF's programs, books are reaching remote communities where they are needed most. Just $30 buys three books to go to a child in a remote community.
Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly through to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation.
Your donation opens doors to a world of opportunities and learning, and books are the keys that open those doors.
Thanks so much for your support!

Indigenous Literacy Foundation
Being able to read opens so many doors. But in very remote Indigenous communities, books are all too scarce and literacy levels are much lower than anywhere else in Australia. Our purpose is to make a difference to the lives of Indigenous families by not only gifting thousands of new culturally appropriate books - with a focus on early literacy and first language - but also by running programs to inspire the communities to tell and publish their own stories.
Please visit our website for more information about our programs.
