Gratitude New Zealand Charitable Trust Board

Teena Koutou,

Gratitude is a not for profit to stamp out child poverty in New Zealand.

Ko Johana Te Momo toku ingoa / My name is Johana and with a group of community leaders, we started the Christmas Present Drop Project in 2017, raising over $36k to delivering Christmas presents to decile 1 schools in Otara, where over 6000 tamariki/children received a present by Santa (David Tua) and other community leaders. The spirit of this project was to bring joy to as many tamariki in Otara to share in the spirit of Christmas. Since this project I have seen a greater need to support schools and child facilities more on a daily basis. My friend Arunima; owner of Aims Global and I joined forces and have created Gratitude NZ Charitable Trust Board, where we will impact more children who's families are struggling to make ends meet. This was in response to many articles about children going without at schools, families struggling to pay school fees, stationary and schools trips. How we will impact this is run as many campaigns as possible to fundraise for child facilities and schools to fill the need for children to thrive and empower the next generation. Please see updates on campaigns.
