PEITO PROJECT
Our COVID-19 Response Initiative aimed to provide immediate relief and support to the youth affected by the pandemic.
During the first lockdown, many families struggled with providing food for their families. Because of this, we worked together with The Hope church in Onehunga, The Village in West Auckland and Salvation Army to provide food parcels for these families. This allowed our students the opportunity to work voluntarily to pack the food parcels and lend a hand for the benefit of their community during difficult times.
The Hope Church (Onehunga), The village (West Auckland) and Salvation Army have been valuable partners in supporting our projects aimed at empowering children to become life providers for their families. Through their unwavering commitment, we have been able to commence our Tokanga and Toutaiola projects. These initiatives focus on equipping children with essential life skills, enabling them to develop into capable and self-sufficient individuals. Together, we are fostering a generation of empowered Pacific youth who are confident, skilled, and ready to embrace their roles as providers for their families.
We remain committed to supporting our youth. Together, we can overcome the challenges brought by the pandemic and build a stronger, more resilient community for our young people.
Our work
Tufa - Food Distribution project:
Through the collaboration with the Salvation Army NZ, we have been able to provide essential food packages to families and individuals in need. The project is not only about addressing hunger but also ensuring that individuals have access to nutritious meals. Our dedicated volunteers work to assemble and distribute these food parcels to vulnerable members of our community. Together, with the Salvation Army NZ, we strive to make a positive difference in the lives of those facing food insecurity, promoting a sense of hope and nourishment for all.
