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.

We would like to congratulate one of our successful recipients of our latest round of tertiary scholarships for school leavers in 2021, Nia Kara from Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Kaikohe. She is currently in Auckland starting her first year of university at the Auckland University of Technology (AUT) in a certificate of Applied Sciences. The MOKO Foundation is very proud to be supporting local tauira who are aspiring to pursue science and health pathways.
“A huge thank you to the Moko Foundation for my 2020 scholarship! The pūtea was great but the advice and guidance helped me determine a pathway I’m happy with. I’m looking forward to my study in 2021 and a continued relationship with the Moko Foundation through the mentoring they are providing. Ngā mihi nui kia koutou e te Moko Foundation!"
We would also like to congratulate another successful recipient, Kona Hippolite nō NgāPuhi me Waikato and attended Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Kaikohe. She is aiming to start her bachelor of physiology therapy at Wintec in Hamilton.

I am very grateful for this opportunity to receive financial support from The Moko Foundation. I plan to use this scholarship to help cover the costs involved in completing my practical placements (including travel, uniform and study resources).” ... See MoreSee Less
