Strengthening the village around our
Pēpē Moana
OFANIA2026
Ofania 2026 was taken to a new level, with a beautiful and successful gathering centred on Prioritising our Pēpē Moana, children, mothers and families.
We are deeply grateful to Dr Claire Achmad, Children’s Commissioner, Mana Mokpuna, for her unwavering commitment to pēpē moana and for continuing to champion the importance of a strong village surrounding our children. Her message reminded us that children’s voices matter. To our tamariki and pēpē moana, we hear you.
A heartfelt thank you to the māmā who courageously shared their stories of change, healing and family. Your voices brought honesty, depth and strength to the day, reminding us of the power of lived experience and whānau voice.
We also acknowledge our speakers, panelists, stallholders and providers who helped create meaningful talanoa, connection and shared learning throughout the symposium.
The creative spaces added something truly special, including Niutupu Pulapulaola, Leo Semau with the Tāoga Kupega Creative Arts space, and guest author Bennett Pomana, who shared his book Tahi Rua Toru.
Ofania 2026 also marked the launch of Kupega o Moana’s children’s colouring book, Lole the Brave Little Laumei by Michael Sua, created to support parents and children to talk about worry, anxiety and tips how to regulate their emotions.
Thank you to everyone who attended, contributed and helped strengthen the village around our pēpē moana.

Our programmes
The programmes we provide are designed to complement one another, offering seamless support to our communities. We also work collaboratively with external services to ensure our magafoa receives the right support, at the right time, in a culturally appropriate way.
Programmes offered
Formerly Pasifika Parenting Innovation Centre (PPIC), We run parenting courses, usually each semester, where Pasifika parents gain skills to effectively raise children in New Zealand.
Formely known as Anofale, Childbirth Education & Support Services provides essential antenatal and postnatal care, ensuring mums felt empowered, nurtured, and well-prepared for motherhood through culturally responsive support.
We provide primary mental health support to becoming Pasifika parents and infants and children from 0-5 years with mild to moderate mental health and / or addiction concerns.
Roots is men’s support service, providing a culturally safe and respectful space where tāne talanoa, enjoy sports and encourage each-other.
INATI is a Tokelauan tradition of communal sharing.
Bringing this tradition to Kupega has been incredible, creating a space where our Pasifika community can come together to share, learn, and take something home—whether it's knowledge, practical parenting support, guidance on navigating systems in Aotearoa New Zealand.
This is our home visiting service. The purpose is to nurture mothers emotional health and wellbeing and supporting aiga during the vital early stages of child's life. This early intervention provides a positive experience and alleviates undue pressure and stress with this whānau led approach.

These sessions incorporate visual arts, drawing, painting, storytelling, and other creative expressions.
