A Foundation North grant of $100,000 was made to Pasifika Futures this month to support the current Covid-19 Packages of Support that are currently being distributed to vulnerable Pacific families in Auckland.

The Pasifika Medical Association through Pasifika Futures (PFL) – the Whānau Ora commissioning agency – is aware of multiple Pacific groups currently displaced in New Zealand due to the nation’s level four lockdown and the closures of neighbouring Pacific borders. The organisation has been working with their Covid-19 Support Partners across the country to ensure these groups are being kept safe and are supported during the lockdown.

With many office workers forced to work from home during the Covid-19 crisis, it’s important that good posture and work conditions are maintained to prevent serious injuries, says a leading Pacific physiotherapist.

A total of 5166 Covid-19 Support Packages have been delivered to vulnerable families across New Zealand, providing support to 27,829 individuals. Eighty-two percent of families who received support packages reside in the North Island.

The COVID-19 testing station in Otara has become one of the busiest in Auckland, with large numbers from the Pacific community getting tested since the facility opened on Saturday 4 April.
