Our Migrants Supporting Migrants (MSM) Programme helps someone turn hope into opportunity, ensuring a thriving future for new migrants.

Auckland

Right now, we're witnessing an unusual and urgent surge in the number of migrants turning to us for support. Many arrive in Aotearoa full of hope, only to find themselves struggling to secure work in a system that feels unfamiliar and overwhelming.

Our Migrants Supporting Migrants (MSM) Programme has become a lifeline, but the growing demand is stretching our resources further than ever. Your small gift of as little as $5 helps a migrant jobseeker access vital support—CV guidance, interview prep, and the confidence to walk into their first job in Aotearoa.

Many of the migrants we've supported are now paying it forward. If you or someone you know benefited from this service, your contribution can help someone else take their first steps toward meaningful employment and a brighter future.

Please donate through our Givealittle page today and consider becoming a regular donor. Your ongoing support keeps this cycle of generosity and hope alive, ensuring every newcomer has the chance at a fresh start.

✨ High-Five for a Fresh Start — pay it forward, and help a new migrant build a brighter future in Aotearoa New Zealand.
