Global Stages, Pacific Stories: The RAKO Pasefika Mentorship Project 🌎

For the first time, Rako Pasefika is bringing together NZ-based and Pacific artists to share powerful Indigenous stories on the global stage. Through dance, music, and film, we are showcasing the stories of Armea and Sau Folu—celebrating Pacific female warriors and the resilience of our ancestors. 

We are aiming to raise a minimum of $6,600 NZD through the Boosted x Moana fund to support five NZ-based artists (Jared, Helen, Tristan, Kapi, and Haylie) as they perform at three major international events: 

✅ San Francisco Rotuman Community Event (May 2025) 

✅ Asia Pacific Dance Festival, Hawai’i (May - June 2025) 

✅ IIMS Toronto Music Festival (June 2025) 

Your donation will help cover flights, visas, costumes, and cultural exchange activities, ensuring that these artists can represent their heritage, share untold stories, and strengthen connections between Pacific cultures. 

✨ Every $1 you donate is DOUBLED by the Pasifika Moana Fund, and as an NZ donor, you can claim up to 33% of your donation back in tax credits. 

Be part of this movement—help us take Pacific storytelling to the world! 🌏💙
