Mission
Have a Dream NZ is a charitable organisation focused on creating positive generational change and equality for Kiwi kids, families and communities, by supporting the development of academic and life skills within a child's educational years. Since 2003, I Have a Dream has focused on helping Kiwi kids to transform their lives, futures and communities. The programme currently works in the Tikipunga and Otangarei communities of Whangarei and the intention is to be present for at least another 20 years, working holistically and in partnership with whanau, schools and the community. Our core long-term goal is to affect positive generational change and outcomes for any community we are involved with in Northland and Aotearoa.
