A Pacific-led, social impact start-up grounded in culture, purpose and community. We partner with organisations and leaders to design strategies, programs and learning experiences that centre Indigenous knowledge and create meaningful change. Our work bridges consultantcy and community impact - where Indigenous values drives innovation, equity and transformation.
Our Focus
-
We work alongside organisations, institutions, and communities to create meaningful change. Our expertise spans strategy development, research and evaluation, cultural competence training, and facilitation grounded in Indigenous values. Whether you need support designing an education program, embedding equity frameworks, or engaging with diverse communities, we bring experience, evidence, and cultural integrity to every project.
-
We reinvest directly into Pacific communities through scholarships, microgrants, and initiatives that create opportunity and remove barriers. Our events and fundraising efforts fuel the Ako Moana Foundation, ensuring that Pacific students and families can thrive in education and beyond. Every dollar raised goes back into the community, building futures and sustaining cultural strength.
-
Moana Impact Studio designs and delivers transformative leadership programs that prepare Pacific leaders for today and tomorrow. From student leadership and career pathways to executive-level programs, our approach blends Pacific knowledge systems with contemporary leadership practice. Participants gain confidence, networks, and the tools to lead with vision, integrity, and impact.
