The twin joys of reading and language hold a special place in the heart of SBP. That’s why we got so excited about pledge number four – raising funds for the inspirational Indigenous Literacy Foundation – by hosting a Great Book Swap in our Pyrmont office.
The Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) aims to lift literacy levels and instil a lifelong love of reading in indigenous languages as well as English in communities across Australia.
ILF achievements so far:
350,000 new books supplied to
280 remote communities.
88 books published in indigenous languages and English.
