The Indigenous Literacy Project (ILP) is a partnership between the Australian Book Industry and The Fred Hollows Foundation.
Working closely with the Australian Booksellers Association and the Australian Publishers Association, The Fred Hollows Foundation purchases and supplies books and other culturally appropriate learning materials to remote communities where the Foundation works.
These communities select and order reading material from catalogues and sample books provided by The Australian Booksellers Association. The Fred Hollows Foundation staff also identify other literacy needs.
The books are then supplied to schools, libraries, early learning centres such as crèches, women's Centres and other identified institutions, to enhance their pool of literacy resources.
Our major fundraising effort in 2009 is Indigenous Literacy Day to be held on Wednesday September 2 2009.
