Imagine a world where Pasifika people with disabilities can live the life they want, the way they want. A life without language or cultural barriers.
Le Va’s Faiva Ora Community Innovation Fund (FOCIF) supports community-based initiatives that enable Pasifika people with disabilities to enhance participation, reduce stigma and increase access to support services.
YES Disability Resource Centre was a recipient of FOCIF We were blessed to enable the “Re:imagine Voyager Project” where young Pacific and Mäori people with disabilities are dressed and represent leadership roles in their cultural identities.
Check out some of the images that were gifted to us below. Honoured to hold this space 🙏🏽

Our Atu-Mai team has had a very busy yet fulfilling week connecting with youth across South Auckland ☺
We visited McAuley Highschool, Papakura High School and Sir Edmund Hillary Collegiate to talk about our core Pasifika values and the ways in which we can strive to live out our values every day.
Together we learned that no one is perfect and it can be hard to always live by our values. But we can learn and practice actions that move us closer towards living by our values.
Learn more about our Pasifika values in the #IAM module at www.atumai.nz.

Well done team - love seeing our youth engaged ♥️
We admire the strength, courage and activism of the Polynesian Panthers and what they have done for our Pasifika communities who celebrate their 50th anniversary this very week!
As part of their 50th anniversary celebration programme held at the beautiful Fale Pasifika on The University of Auckland, Le Va are sponsoring the #YouthPanel hosted by Geneezy Illohaia and featuring panelists Josiah Tualamali’i, Tatiana Tonumaivao and Harleen Bathal on Saturday 19 June.
Our purpose at Le Va is to support Pasifika communities to unleash their full potential and so we acknowledge the Pasifika giants who shoulders we stand upon to continue the collective work we all set out to do for and with our people🤎
Much alofa & thanks to the Polynesian Panthers 🙏🏾

Tufuga Ta Tatau Workshop 2019
This video is a result of an inaugural Ta Tatau Health and Safety Workshop attended by Tufuga ta tatau from both Samoa and New Zealand, held in Auckland on 25th of June 2019. This video should be watched in conjunction with Le Va’s tatau factsheet. Whilst this factsheet focusses more on health and safety practice, cultural and spiritual processes associated with customary tattooing are captured in the video.
