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

Faiäkse’ea – we did it! 🙌🏽✨

Our Boosted x Moana campaign is officially complete, and thanks to your incredible support — whether it was $5, $200, a share, or a kind word — we’ve reached our goal!

Because of you, our NZ-based artists will now travel with Rako Pasefika to Hawai‘i, San Francisco, and Toronto to share our Pacific stories on the global stage, alongside powerful Pacific voices. 🌺🌏

This isn’t just a win for our team — it’s a win for our communities, for cultural storytelling, and for the next generation of artists.

From the bottom of our hearts, faiäkse’ea.
We can't wait to show you what we create.

Noa’ia ‘e mauri!

We did it! 💙
Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve officially reached our Boosted x Moana campaign goal! Your generosity—through donations, shares, and encouragement—has meant the world to us.

Because of you, our artists can now share Sau Folu and Armea in San Francisco, Hawai‘i, and Toronto—bringing our stories, strength, and spirit to the world stage. 🌏✨

There are still a few days left in the campaign, and any extra support will go even further—helping to cover:
✈️ Flights and travel
🛂 Visa fees
🎭 Traditional costumes and cultural adornments
🤝 Koha for our elders and mentors

Every contribution, big or small, helps us honour our culture and connect with communities around the world. 

From all of us—Fạiåkse’ea! 🤎
