Setting Our Kids Up to Live Their Best Lives
Our Story
Children are born with unlimited potential – However, socioeconomic inequality can impact their chance to thrive.
Kootuitui Papakura was created to impact this inequity and improve lifelong outcomes for our children. Rather than simply providing band-aid solutions, Kootuitui starts early and works together with local communities and experts to co-design initiatives based on what has been shown to make the most significant difference.
We have clear evidence that what we do works, and are proud to have impacted immediate and lifelong outcomes for many children and communities. Together, we can ensure that every child has a chance at success.
