Prosperity for
Pacific Families

A Whānau Ora Commissioning Agency

Pasifika Futures works with regionally based providers and partners to build the capability and capacity of Pacific families.

We support Pacific families to achieve their aspirations in health, housing, education, training and economic development.

Lifelong Learning:

Succeeding in Education

We build lifelong learning with Pacific families, through enrolling in early childhood education, achieving at school, helping families support their children’s development, supporting school leavers into education, employment or training, and gaining tertiary education qualifications.

Living Longer, Living Better:

Healthy Lives

We work alongside Pasifika families to live longer and better lives through supporting Pasifika families in healthy eating and exercise, immunisation and screening, healthy homes, primary care access, managing long-term health conditions, and supporting people with disabilities to achieve their aspirations and access services.

Financial Freedom:

Economically Independent and Resilient

We work with Pasifika families to build a pathway to financial freedom, through reducing debt, increasing income and savings, gaining and strengthening employment, reducing debt, and owning their own homes.

Community Connection:

Leadership, Culture and Community

We build on the strengths of Pasifika communities to live in safe and supported environments, through fostering Pacific languages, strengthening community connections and participation, resolving conflict non-violently, and ensuring elderly people are safe and connected.

Resilient & Responsive:

Pacific communities to emergencies

We will ensure our rapid response to support families overcome and build resilience to the challenges of living through and beyond COVID-19, emergencies, and disasters.
