Non-Profit - Broadway, NSW, AU
Being able to read opens so many doors. But in very remote Indigenous communities, books are all too scarce and literacy levels are so 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.

Reading can open many opportunities, but in some remote Indigenous communities, there are not enough books and people don't know how to read as well as others in Australia. Our goal is to help Indigenous families by giving them new books that are right for their culture and language, and by running programs that encourage them to share and publish their own stories.
