“I shall be a champion of freedom and justice, to build a more peaceful world” – Student Oath
Since 2008, Tamaki Mt Wellington has become a part of the global movement to fight poverty and injustice in the world. We are providing financial support to a child in East Africa and a community in Asia.
To this date, we have successfully raised over $1000!
But this year we are aiming to double that amount so that more of the impossible can be achieved.

Our first child sponsor is a young girl living in one of the slums situated in Nairobi, Kenya. Roseline Achando lives with her parents, brother and sister. Her family, like many others in the area, are poor and cannot cater for the family effectively. Her father is unemployed and relies on small manual jobs from factories while her mother is a housewife taking care of the children. With the lack of income, Roseline and her sibling’s basic needs of education, health, food, and security cannot be satisfied.
But through Child Fund, the organisation that has enabled us to connect with Roseline, and the Mukuru Promotion Centre, the place where Roseline receives benefits (health-care, food etc) from our contribution, we have been able to change her situation contributing to re-shaping and building a solid foundation for her life.
