Fundraising for Afroconnect, Aotearoa New Zealand

AfroConnect NZ was created from a simple but powerful idea: when communities are connected, they thrive. Based in Hamilton, in the heart of the mighty Waikato, we are a registered charitable trust with strong links to African communities across Aotearoa. Our people come from many parts of the African continent, united by a shared commitment to support one another and build a strong, inclusive future in New Zealand.

Our mission is to build vibrant African communities by creating a central hub that connects individuals, families, and groups with the resources they need to succeed. Our vision is a future where African communities in New Zealand are empowered, supported, and connected, contributing confidently to the growth and wellbeing of the country.

Through community-led events and practical initiatives, AfroConnect NZ focuses on four key areas that matter most to our people. We promote health and wellbeing by sharing information and resources that support physical and mental health. We support housing by providing guidance on tenant rights, the housing market, and pathways to home ownership. We champion education by improving access to learning tools and resources that encourage academic success. We strengthen employment outcomes by connecting people with opportunities, skills, and knowledge for meaningful work.

Our journey so far has been inspiring, and with your support, we can continue to uplift and connect our community for generations to come.
