In the 20232024 year we established the SAP (So'ofatasiga Aiga Pasifika) Foster and Kinship Care Service supporting Pasifika and M ori children to be placed in OutofHome care with Pasifka and M ori carers. We also operated the Connecting Kin program supporting kinship care for families and whanau in the Logan catchment area. We established the MOA (Measina o Aiga) elder care support services to provide social and holistic support services for our elders. The elders wrote and published a book recording 20 stories of their migration journey as well as celebrating 10 years since the establishment of their elders support program. Village Connect continued to operate the Pasifika Maternity and Child Health Hub to support mothers and babies to have improved outcomes and attend antenatal classes and appointments to reduce mortality rates for Pasifika babies and children.
