indigo foundation is an innovative and independent community development organisation based in Australia. For over 20 years, we have supported grassroots organisations to pursue their development goals. We currently partner with 13 local partners across seven countries. We are a proudly nimble and creative organisation, with committed volunteers and supporters across Australia.
We support local community partners to empower women and girls, improve education and health outcomes, secure better livelihoods for families and defend their human rights. We believe powerful and positive change is achieved through community control over decision-making, honest communication between communities and ourselves and building strong community organisations. We know from the evidence that community-led development works to transform lives and build more resilient communities. Our approach to partnership is built on respect, mutual learning and accepting that progress and setbacks are a normal part of community development.
