Borroloola, a remote community in the Gulf of Carpentaria, is the founding community of Moriarty Foundation and the birthplace of our co-founder, Yanyuwa man John Moriarty AM.

L'il Lloyd's story

L’il Lloyd Dixon, a Garrwa child from Borroloola, started attending Indi Kindi at just five months old.

Thanks to Indi Kindi, in 2023 at 3 years of age L’il Lloyd was ready for preschool a year early. He had an extra year in preschool before he transitioned to primary school in 2025 and was used to school being an every day commitment.

Borroloola is ranked as the fifth most disadvantaged SA2 community in Australia (ABS). Its school attendance rate 37 percentage points lower than the Northern Territory average, but Indi Kindi has set L’il Lloyd up to thrive in education and in life.
