Donate/Volunteer for Migrant Action Trust

Amie Maga from Migrant Action Trust

International Day of Charity - Today 5 September is about honouring the life of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 "for work undertaken in the struggle to overcome poverty and distress, which also constitute a threat to peace."

Looking for a registered charity to support? Your donation of $5, $50 or more to Migrant Action Trust will enable us to support more migrants and refugee whānau after lockdown.



Over the last few weeks, we've been reaching out to our Afghani whānau who are extremely distressed about the safety and survival of their loved ones in Afghanistan. Through the Action Station petition and letters to Government, Migrant Action Trust joined the urgent plea for New Zealand to take in substantially more refugees from Afghanistan.



As a registered charity supporting refugees from arrival to integration, Migrant Action Trust runs free English and computer tutorials, pre-employment support and community driver mentoring programmes.



Check out to pledge regularly or volunteer for Migrant Action Trust www.migrantactiontrust.org...



In the last three years, we have been delivering trauma-sensitive driver training for Afghani and other refugees to support their settlement process. Help refugees gain independence through Puketapapa Community Driving School givealittle.co.nz...
