Toimata Foundation

Grounded in indigenous knowledge and a holistic action-learning approach, Toimata supports the passion and innovation of children, young people and communities to design and co-create a more sustainable, peaceful and equitable world.

Toimata is committed to working with a large network of partners so that people of all ages can work together to take creative action, to feel empowered, motivated and hopeful - about their lives and the future of our planet. Your donation will help us to support our growing network of participants.

We have two programmes:

TE AHO TŪ ROA: A programme in te reo Māori working with kōhanga/puna reo, kura, wharekura, iwi, Māori organisations, business and communities that celebrates Māori culture, language and wisdom and seeks to deepen and strengthen connections - 'People to People' and 'People to Place'. https://www.teahoturoa.org.nz/

ENVIROSCHOOLS: An action-based education programme in early childhood centres and schools where children and young people plan, design and implement sustainability projects and become catalysts for change in their families and wider communities. https://enviroschools.org.nz/
