The Opening the Doors Foundation is based on the ancient wisdom of Indigenous society: to nurture its children and educate them in an appropriate way so they can function successfully within their world. The Foundation takes this ancient wisdom into our society as it has become and is offering a way for Indigenous families to choose a path of education that will equip them to function equally with the rest of Australian society. Opening the Doors Foundation is a project and a strategy that emphasises self-management and self-empowerment.
