The issues of Indigenous health, diabetes and kidney disease are real and alarming in Australia.
We are working hard through a multi-pronged approach to combat health problems and raise awareness and prevent more generations of Indigenous Australians falling victim to health complications.
There are many like us who believe the trends can be reversed, that care about the future of our children and who want to see remote Aboriginal communities strong and healthy well into the future.
Without the support of funding partners, corporate sponsors, individuals and like-minded organisations The Jimmy Little Foundation would not be as effective in having its voice heard, empowering young people, giving hope to communities and supporting those already with diabetes and renal failure.
Thanks to those who put their hand in their pocket or their hand up to help, we are effecting change right across Australia.
