Help fund my Leadership
Auckland
Si'i 'oto 'ofa! I’ve been selected as one of only 20 youth delegates across the Pacific to attend the PAYA Youth Leadership Summit 2025 in Honiara, Solomon Islands, this coming November.
As a proud Pasifika queer advocate from Aotearoa, I am passionate about creating spaces where our youth feel seen, safe, and strong in their identities. This summit is a great opportunity to connect with other young changemakers across Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa and learn how we can uplift each other and our communities.
👉🏽 But I need your help!
I’m currently fundraising $2,750 AUD (approx. $3000 NZD), this will cover the registration fee which includes accommodation, meals, the summit experience, and local transport. $2700 NZD will need to be paid by the end of August as this is when the registration fee must be paid, then the remainder from the funds will go towards my return flights.
💸 Every donation, big or small, will help get me one step closer to this opportunity.
🧡 If you're unable to give, please consider sharing this campaign - it all means the world.
Malo 'aupito!
