Indigo Foundation (IF) is an independent Australian community development organisation, which provides effective and innovative assistance to improve the lives of people in marginalised communities in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. We work in the areas of health, education, environment and advocacy.

IF seeks to empower local communities to access resources, and have control over the decisions that determine their basic needs and human rights. We do this by providing financial and technical support to local 'not for profit' and community-based organisations, with a particular focus on local capacity building.

We currently support community development projects in six countries:

1. Rote, Indonesia: public health education; supporting the development of a high school with scholarship program; and water programs.
2. Borjegai, Afghanistan: education - girls high school; building a new primary school; and providing school books and teachers' salaries.
3. Weathercoast, Solomon Islands: a rural livelihood training centre for young men and women and leadership training.
4. Kokolopori, Congo: supporting a health initiative to prevent malaria through health promotion and distribution of mosquito nets.
5. Dili, East Timor: assisting in the development of a breast feeding program through a major hospital and establishing a tobacco control program.
6. Tamil Nadu, India: setting up an education program for Dalit children.
