Waka with Wings is a transformative initiative dedicated to empowering youth through education, opportunity, and support.

Rotorua, Bay Of Plenty

Welcome to our crowdfunding campaign dedicated to empowering youth through education and opportunity! At Waka with Wings, we're passionate about supporting the next generation by providing them with the tools and resources they need to succeed. Whether it's helping youth sports teams, facilitating cultural performances, or supporting STEM studies and apprenticeships, we believe in investing in the future leaders of our community.

Many families face financial limitations when it comes to supporting their children's aspirations. Waka with Wings alleviates some of these burdens by providing a platform for businesses to fund scholarships, nurturing young talent in the process.

With your support, we aim to raise funds to provide essential resources and opportunities for young people, including equipment and training for sports teams, uniforms, travel funds, tools for apprenticeships, costumes for performers, educational excursions for STEM studies, the annual Rotorua Youth Awards, and support for youth with special needs.

Imagine a future where young people have the resources they need to thrive in various fields, from sports to entrepreneurship to science. This is the vision of Waka with Wings: Inspiring Possibilities and creating a world where young people can be leaders, heroes, and innovators.

Join us on this adventure by making a positive impact and empowering the next generation. Please pledge your support now. Thank you.
