Our programmes are collaborative, empowering and action-focused. With founding partner Te Mauri Tau we work collaboratively with communities and organisations nationwide.
Toimata Foundation supports two nationwide kaupapa to bring about sustainability through learning and action.
Te Aho Tū Roa
A kaupapa in te reo Māori working with kōhanga/puna reo, kura, wharekura and communities that embraces Māori culture, language and wisdom. Te Aho Tū Roa is the cord that connects and sustains us, joining us to those who have gone before and to those who will come after us. As a programme, Te Aho Tū Roa seeks to strengthen connection:
'People to People'- including past, current and future generations.
'People to Place'- embracing every element including the physical, spiritual, and living aspects of our world.
Enviroschools
An action-based education programme where young people plan, design and implement sustainability projects and become catalysts for change. Enviroschools engages with children, young people and their communities through the formal education system of early childhood education (ECE) centres, primary and secondary schools. Built on a collaborative organisational model, Enviroschools is supported by a network of over 80 agencies, with councils making up the core of the network.
