Our Projects
Our projects are developed in response to the lived experiences and priorities of communities with forced migrant backgrounds. They address real challenges faced during settlement and integration, while creating opportunities for participation, learning, and connection across Aotearoa. Delivered through collaboration with community organisations, partners, and stakeholders, our community-led projects promote inclusion, strengthen capacity, and support meaningful, sustainable outcomes.
