The History of Fonua Ola
Fonua Ola Network was founded by a group of Pacific Island pioneers who have been serving our Pacific communities since the 1970’s. These pioneers carried passion, mana and a heart for their local and ethnic specific communities. Fonua Ola is the essence of their vision for our Pacific communities within Aotearoa.
How do I access services?
This can be by way of a self-referral at our offices in Otahuhu and Mount Albert or from other community organisations and agencies such as Oranga Tamariki, Work and Income, Hospitals, Schools and Police. Our services aim to strengthen children, young people and their families who are at risk of poor life outcomes.
