Cultivating Mauri Ora for Youth & Women

Mauri (life force) flows through all things — the land, trees, birds, rivers, mountains, space, and time, and it also flows through people, both individually and collectively. When our ora (wellbeing) is protected and safe, our mauri will flourish.

Sunshine Sky Trust is dedicated to adding value to the lives of Asian New Zealanders and other ethnic communities, ensuring that everyone feels cared for and supported.

Our vision is to promote the development of the Asian community, with a focus on the wellbeing and growth of women and children, while building a bridge of communication that enables cultural exchange, understanding, and collaboration.

New Zealand, as a multicultural immigrant country, has Asian and other ethnic minority communities as an important part of its population. In the process of integrating into local communities, they often face various challenges.

For new immigrants, language barriers are a primary difficulty. Many women or children, when experiencing domestic or school-related violence, may not even know how to seek help due to language limitations.

For Immigrants who have lived here for many years, although language barriers decrease over generations, limitations in information channels and the solidification of social networks can still pose obstacles to integration.

We understand mauri ora — the importance of life force and wellbeing.

A secure connection to cultural heritage and identity is essential for every young person’s growth.

Together, we can foster an inclusive and supportive community that celebrates diversity and empowers Asian youth in New Zealand to reach their full potential.





Women Support

Women play a vital role in society. They are often gentle and empathetic, yet can sometimes feel vulnerable.

Minority women in New Zealand should have more opportunities to understand how to integrate better into society and discover their own strength and confidence.

We aim to create a supportive environment that warmly encourages women to feel empowered and confident in all aspects of life.
