About the Literacy for Life Foundation

Literacy for Life Foundation is an Aboriginal-run and community-focused charity seeking to address low English literacy and digital literacy in Aboriginal communities.

Teaching adults to read and write is a critical first step in enhancing intergenerational literacy, delivering better health outcomes, lifting employment, and achieving improved self-determination.

The Literacy for Life Foundation leads from behind, promoting and supporting Aboriginal community members as experts in their own context, allowing them to take on the role of adult literacy facilitators and mentors, and boosting literacy in their communities. We place power in the hands of local Aboriginal community members who care about each other and understand the strengths and needs of their community.

We use an innovative, evidence-based, campaign approach that has helped millions around the world and is now delivering results across Australia. Promoting local Aboriginal ownership and leadership of the campaign at each site, our approach recognises rich existing cultural knowledge and ways of learning, supporting learners to acquire the literacy skills that lead to further opportunities.
