Helping Essjay give back through his Little Miss & Mister Aotearoa NZ journey
Rotorua, Bay Of Plenty
Kia ora,
My name is Essjay and I’m proud to be representing Rotorua in the Little Miss & Mister Aotearoa New Zealand 2026 Pageant.
This journey is about more than just being on stage, it’s about giving back to my community and supporting causes that make a real difference.
As part of my journey, I am fundraising in support of:
Dress for Success Rotorua
Kiddiewinks - Rerehua Rehua Charitable Trust (www.kiddiewinks.co.nz), and
Little Miss & Mister Aotearoa NZ
These organisations do important work supporting whānau, building confidence, and creating opportunities in our community. They have helped shape who I am today as a young fashion designer and as a young gentleman. I have had many amazing opportunities because of these two charities and now I would love to return the favour.
I am committed to representing my rohe with pride and using this opportunity to give back in a meaningful way.
I have personally benefited from the support and opportunities these organisations provide, and I am now fundraising to give back to them.
Every donation, big or small, will help support these kaupapa and make a positive impact.
Thank you for being part of my journey.
