The Whau Pasifika Trust is made up of a voluntary Trust Board of 10 members and a single part-time paid Director.
We are a Komiti of passionate people who are committed to representing all Pasifika Peoples in our local Whau area of West Auckland, Tamaki Makaurau.
Our current members are a mix of Tuvalu, Tokelau, Kiribati, Niue, Tonga and Samoan members. (We invite expressions of interest from our non-represented Pacific Islands on an on-going basis). We also represent a range of ages, life experiences and public and community sectors.
