Disability Support

We’re working with the Ministry of Health to develop a world where Pasifika people with disabilities can live the lives they choose.

All of our work is guided by the Faiva Ora Leadership Group to ensure a strong Pasifika consumer voice throughout Ministry of Health policy and our Le Va projects.

Our current projects are focused on decreasing stigma through the church, increasing access to the right support, and enhancing cultural competency of disability support services. We’ve developed resources, training and tools to support you achieve this too.

Enabling culturally intelligent disability support systems and services

Cultural competency and having a culturally intelligent workforce is not just about individuals. It includes the organisations, systems and structures that we work in. Le Va has produced organisational guidelines for disability support services so that whole organisations and systems can aim to increase and provide the best possible care and support for Pasifika families.
