Nga Reanga e Toru - 3 Generations Trust

The Trust runs literacy programmes for preschoolers living in poverty. We work to increase their literacy so they begin school achieving at the same level as children from higher socio-economic areas. We also provide education resources to our tamariki as some of their homes are without books, pencils and educational toys.

Hard data and anecdotal evidence show the success of the programmes. The increased literacy education in their preschool years means the children have a solid foundation from which to grow their academic achievements. Most importantly, our tamariki start school confident in their ability to learn. This belief in themselves goes beyond the classroom. It opens up a lifetime of possibilities.
