Crowdfunding Campaign | Generosity Generator
Repair Café Aotearoa NZ participated in Generosity Generator- running a Givealittle Campaign from 15 - 29 September 2022. Generosity Generator is created by The Funding Network, and kindly supported by NZME, Chorus and Givelittle.
These funds will be used to equip our existing Repair Cafés, and to support the establishment of new Repair Cafés across the motu.
Te Tiriti o Waitangi

Circular Economy

Repair Café Aotearoa NZ is committed to learning what Te Tiriti o Waitangi means for our organisation and identifying actions to embed Te Tiriti into everyday practice at Repair Cafés.
Repair Café Aotearoa NZ formed a partnership with Para Kore, committing to training Kaiārahi to provide education through wānanga to their interested rōpū to hold repair cafés at marae and Māori organisations.
Repair Café Aotearoa NZ also collaborates with Para Kore ki Tāmaki and our first joined repair café was held as part of 2022 Matariki celebrations.
In June 2022, we were fortunate to be able to host a workshop facilitated by Tangata Tiriti- Treaty People, to develop knowledge about Te Tiriti o Waitangi for personal learning as well as bringing our understanding to our organizations. The facilitators, Marisa Maclachlan and Mikesh Patel provided a space of learning and self-reflection, with opportunities for conversation and activities. We look forward to holding similar workshops in the future to empower and equip Repair Café facilitators.
Repair Café Aotearoa NZ joined the first Circular Economy Directory by the Sustainable Business Network. We offer multiple, practical opportunities to businesses that strive to implement the fundamental principles of the circular economy in their product design. Ways we can help include promoting your business and repairability of your products, enable customers to repair a product you’ve supplied, or promote you as a sponsor on our website for funds or equipment donation. Contact us if you are interested in a potential collaboration!
