Ka Pai Kai Rotorua Charitable Trust

Ka Pai Kai Rotorua Charitable Trust

Our mission is to make nourishing school lunches affordable and accessible and most importantly, normal, for tamariki here in Rotorua.

Rotorua, Bay Of Plenty

Ka Pai Kai Rotorua Charitable Trust opened its doors in July 2017 with the vision of not only feeding tamariki, but making the kai nutritional and in turn educating children, teachers, parents & caregivers. There are 10 schools in the Rotorua area who do not qualify for the Government Funded Lunch Programme & these are the children that we need to support! We currently are in six of these schools. For every $5.50 donated we are able to provide a healthy, hearty, warm meal to a child in need. We prepare these meals with the support of our fabulous volunteers and ensure these meals are delivered to their school in time for lunch. The more you donate, the more we can provide and the more children we can feed!

More about us

Ka Pai Kai Rotorua volunteers make healthy school lunches that we sell to children at cost, or at a subsidised rate. We believe all children deserve a healthy, nourishing meal.
