Help The Village Co get to the Women’s Expo so we can support more mums, provide sitter care & grow our impact!

Waikato

We’re Nikki and Sophia – two mums who built The Village Co from the ground up with zero budget, a big vision, and a whole lot of heart. We connect awesome, vetted sitters with tired, wonderful parents—because it really does take a village.

Every dollar we make goes straight back into growing our platform: from free sitter sessions, to Coffee + Connect Sundays, to community events and school prize sponsorships.

Now, we’ve been accepted into the Waikato Women's Expo this August – a huge opportunity to share The Village with more families. But between stall fees, branding, banners, and creating a pop-up sitter space so mums can enjoy the expo hands-free, we need help covering the costs.

We’re fundraising $2500 to help us get there. With your support, we’ll keep growing this whānau-first, parent-powered movement that’s changing lives (and saving sanity).

If you’ve ever needed a break, been helped by The Village, or just want to see us thrive—this is your moment to join the village.

Every dollar helps. Every share counts. Every bit of love gets us closer.

Thank you so much!

Use of funds

The money will help cover our expo stall fee, branding materials (posters, banners), and a pop-up sitter space so mums can enjoy the event. If we don’t meet our goal, every dollar will still go toward growing The Village Co and supporting families.
