Affirming Works Limited

Affirming Works (AW), who has been providing mentoring services to Pacific communities in New Zealand for over 16 years is leading the charge to unite, collaborate and rebuild Tonga through a new initiative called #TAGTONGA.

#TAGTONGA is a community-led aid initiative set up by Affirming Works in both New Zealand and Tonga to help with the rebuild of Tonga and its people who were severely affected by the damages caused by Cyclone Gita on 13th February 2018.

#TAGTONGA provides a direct donor option for those in New Zealand and abroad wanting to make a monetary donation to cyclone-affected family and friends in Tonga. In times of crises, we as Pacific communities rally together hence the organic community response to the crisis through the new aid initiative.

#TAGTONGA enables people to determine the destination of their donation. Donors can TAG a village, family and/or the purpose of their donation through a specific cause or project. AW will provide evidence of direct spending and reporting to our aid partners to enable good accountability of donations made.

At present Give A Little does not provide a TAG function. Should you wish to 'tag a destination, family, purpose' please email our TAGTONGA team at a-w@affirming.org.nz and they will provide you a form to fill out the necessary details.
