About us
The Moko Foundation is a non-profit charitable trust established to build a better Aotearoa- New Zealand through Health, Leadership and Education.
Founded in 2011 by Former New Zealander of the Year, Dr. Lance O’Sullivan and Tracy MacFarlane, the Moko Foundation continues to better and influence lives and communities around the country.
Our track record continues to grow as we’ve seen hundreds of rangatahi pass through our leadership programmes and gain access to an exclusive network or mentors and support.
In 2020, we welcomed iMoko Health Services to the Moko Foundation with building the capacity of providing health care to thousands of tamariki in our communities.
Waharoa ki te Toi is a Kaitaia based research centre whose overarching principle is to create new knowledge to produce better health outcomes. It is a unique partnership model between the MOKO Foundation and the Maurice Wilkins Centre, which is a New Zealand Centre of Research Excellence that brings together over 150 of the country’s top scientists and clinicians from across our top Universities.

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
