Together, we are not just settling,
we are rising, shaping, and thriving.
Who We Are
We are a community of emerging leaders, passionate parents,
youth changemakers and cultural connectors,
working together to
build strong, confident futures for our families and communities.
About Us
MFR Voice is a former refugee-led organisation based in Marlborough, New Zealand.
We design and deliver education programmes that help former refugee communities participate confidently in New Zealand.
Our work focuses on three key areas:
Education
We design practical programmes that help people understand how New Zealand systems work.
Participation
We support former refugees to engage confidently in schools, communities, and civic life.
Leadership
We develop leaders who wants to
create positive change for
their communities.
We support children, young people, families, and community leaders to understand how New Zealand systems work, build confidence and practical skills, and participate in decisions that affect their lives.
Our vision is for former refugees to be active participants and leaders in their communities.
Our mission is to create opportunities for former refugees to learn, contribute, and shape the future of Marlborough and Aotearoa New Zealand.
