Empowering tomorrow through health, leadership and education

The Moko Foundation, founded in Kaitāia in 2014, supports tamariki and whānau Māori through health, education, and leadership initiatives. 

Our mission is to create impactful, innovative solutions that connect young people to opportunities. Guided by Kaupapa Māori values, we aim to enhance the capability of Māori communities, particularly Te Hiku o Te Ika, to grow knowledge and strengthen ties with national institutions.

Our Purpose

We aim to tackle the unique challenges Māori face in health and science, where representation and support are lacking. By addressing health inequities, advocating for systemic change, and increasing Māori presence, we empower our community to claim its rightful place in these fields.

Our Organisation

Our organisation bridges the Māori community with research to improve health outcomes and boost research capacity. We advocate for systemic change and increased Māori representation, empowering rangatahi to pursue careers in science and health. Together, we ensure Māori voices shape the future of scientific and health advancements.

Research

We are continuously partnering with a range of 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 Kaitāia based research centre’s overarching principle is to create new knowledge to produce better health outcomes.

Our Partners

Without the support of our Partners and Sponsors our work would not be possible.
