Supporting the mental health and wellbeing of Porirua youth.
Māori and Pasifika youth are four times more likely to attempt suicide than Pākehā. Faced with this statistic, youth development organisation, ZEAL launched an in-school culture and identity mentoring programme with an emphasis on suicide prevention.
A hub to connect, support and empower youth.
The result of many years of hard mahi, Le Malaga o Moanaroa hub has been opened in Porirua to support, inspire and connect youth. Nikau Foundation was delighted to collaborate with Wellington Community Trust and the Porirua Council to co-fund this incredible project.
