We simply couldn’t do any of this without the generosity of numerous funders, sponsors and supporters. We are also hugely grateful for dozens of volunteers who give their time and energy to Kahu Youth Trust for a collective hundreds of hours each year.
On this page, you can find out about all of these organisations and people, and you can also contact us if you’d like to contribute in some way.
Please do everything you can to support these wonderful organisations which have been so generous to our community!
