Years of Operation
Ekta NZ Inc (Ekta) was incorporated in 2017 as a charity. At Ekta, we believe in unity through action. By fostering empowerment, collaboration, and inclusivity, we strive to build a stronger, more connected, and economically empowered New Zealand. Ekta is the only organisation in Wellington that cuts across faith, race, culture, ethnic, nationality, language and economic divides. Our core focus areas are:
• Hunger – Sustainable food security programs.
• Homes – Advocating for stable housing.
• Health – Ensuring access to healthcare.
• Human Capital – Equipping individuals with basic skills and training.
• Harmony – Fostering networks and collaborations that create inclusion.
Our programs are designed to create sustainable change by addressing community needs, empowering individuals, long-term development through education.
Join us as we remember and pray for all whose lives were turned upside down in the 15th March 2019, Christchurch Mosque shootings.
This is our 7th year of keeping the region’s most vulnerable warm in winter. You can help us help them!
