Who we are
Manai Fou Incorporated is a newly established and registered organisation located in Auckland, owned by a Pasifika team. We are dedicated to creating positive change through transformative programmes focusing on non-violence, mental well-being, and healthy relationships.
Our name: Manai Fou
We draw inspiration from the biblical concept of “Manna”the miraculous food provided by God to the Israelites during their journey in the wilderness. Just as the Israelites received fresh manna each day, we believe in offering our community a new beginning and continuous nourishment for the soul.
