How can I help?
At Fountain for youth we believe that the issues we address are issues that all people should embrace. I believe we are at a crucial turning point where your support, voice and knowledge can make a substantial difference in closing the gap for some of the worlds truly neediest children – The First Australians.
I have witnessed a significant change in peoples outlook towards Indigenous Australians, especially amongst young people. Unfortunately there are still too few people that are recognising the dire need in this country to close the gap on inequality – the true emergency and urgency to face the health and education crisis that is cutting life short by some 17years for Indigenous Australians.
This is where individuals can make the most traction for change within Australia. It means not diverting or avoiding conversations when you feel uncomfortable at a dinner or a barbecue when issues are spoken about in regards to Aboriginal people and you disagree or find offensive what is being said.
Raise your voice and express your opinion you are entitled to it, this is what you believe in, so fight for it. There is no place for racism and stereotyping of a people, we should all be respectful of each other’s differences and embrace the importance of culture and history, especially of our Indigenous family who can boast the only linkage to the oldest continuous living culture on this planet – this is something for all Australians to be proud of.
If you want to learn more about the emergency facing Indigenous people today in Australia, if you want to learn more about some of the important work taking place; explore our site

We believe that education is key to how Australians and other people around the world will form a foundation for change to rectify the inequality and critical areas of need amongst Indigenous people. I do not have all the answers nor does any one person but collectively we do.
Please start your journey in any way you can, I did and it may become the most significant thing that I have done in my life. Please start this journey with our brothers and sisters – Lend your name, voice, support and your passion behind this cause and see the difference you will make.
