Connecting people with opportunities for a better Aotearoa New Zealand
The Moko Foundation was born from the generosity of New Zealanders who saw the need to support our communities.
Our mission is to support and empower communities, with a focus on vulnerable children and young people. We uphold our vision and mission by providing opportunities in Research, Health and Education.
Research
We are continuously partnering with a range or researchers & scientists with the latest public health developments.
Rangatahi
The Moko Foundation is committed to providing local rangatahi with opportunities in leadership, health & education.
Education
Our Kaitaia based research centre’s overarching principle is to create new knowledge to produce better health outcomes.
Fructose in schools study - fISS
The Fructose in Schools Study (FISS) was initiated by the MOKO Foundation in 2017 to rural schools within the Far North. This research is trying to understand more about the rates of absorption of the sugar fructose across the New Zealand population and the effects this has on metabolic health outcomes. The MOKO Foundations role in this program is delivering this initiative to Far North schools as a means to educate students about the science of sugar and importance of health whilst capturing relevant data

Project Spotlight- The Knowledge Hub
The Knowledge Hub is a project within The Moko Foundation that aims to establish partnerships & relationships between research & the community in order to increase knowledge & understanding about biomedical research & advancements. We have partnered with multiple researchers & research projects to provide community voice & engagement in research. Some of our current research partnerships include an RSV antiviral study & carriage study for pneumococcal.
So far this year we have participated in a number of community events in which we were promoting our current projects & gathering feedback & information from the community about our current research partnerships. We attended Waitangi Day where we carried our surveys about our current research partnerships in the space of rangatahi & vaping in which our Nōna Te Ao schools programme is based on. We have also attended community events hosted by local organisations such as the Muriwhenua Wellbeing festival & immunisation day run by Te Hiku Hauora.
During Matariki we hosted our Knowledge Symposium at Te Ahu Centre Kaitaia. We hosted 3 sessions across the day, a morning rangatahi session, lunch & learn community session & our evening key note session. We invited over 40 researchers & scientists from the Maurice Wilkins Centre, over 80 students from local Kura, & over 70 community members attended throughout the day across our three sessions.
Keep an eye out for more information about our current & future research partnerships as part of the Knowledge Hub at The Moko Foundation. ... See MoreSee Less
