Help Moses from PNG become a regenerative leader

Grafton, Auckland

We have selected Moses as a participant for our Future+ Kuching regenerative leadership programme but he needs the funds to travel from Papua New Guinea to Kuching!

Moses is the Founder and Director for Mauberema Ecotourism, Nature Conservation, Education, Research and Training Center (MENCERTC), an indigenous youth-led community-based organisation. He left his academic teaching job at the University of Goroka in 2021 and is currently working full-time as a volunteer with MENCERTC. MENCERTC program fosters community ecotourism and wildlife protection through conservation, education, research, and training and support sustainable community livelihood development. Established in September 2017, MENCERTC was awarded the 2022 UNDP Global Equator Prize Award and 2022 The Society of Conservation Biology Oceania Regional Distinguished Community Service Award.

We the organising team are deeply moved by Moses' love for his community and believe that he will have much to share and take home to his tribe by participating in our gathering in Kuching. In particular, human-nature reconnection, indigenous wisdom and community building are all core components of our programme that will align beautifully with Moses' life and his calling. We have awarded him a full scholarship but still need support for his travels!

Thank you for your support!  7 October 2024

Dear supporters, unfortunately with the limited time and capacity of our organising team we have not managed to meet the fundraising target to fly Moses to Kuching. We have reserved a spot for Moses to join us next year in May in the Future+ Bali event. Hopefully with more time we will be able to meet the fundraising target then! If you'd like to request a refund, please get in touch with Givealittle via helpdesk@givealittle.co.nz by Wednesday, October 16th. Otherwise, our intention is to save your generous donations for this campaign for Moses' flight to Bali next year. If you have any questions for concerns, please email me at yakiwo@gmail.com

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
