EthNix Links

EthNix Links is a leadership project for ethnic communities Auckland wide. It is a collaboration of strong networks, connected and empowered individuals, seeking to achieve long term goals, to influence change and seek opportunities to empower ethnic women’s leadership.

The project focus is on family; women, men and children from migrant and refugee

communities. EthNix Links is a credible organization. It has built on years of sustained relationships with many governmental and non- governmental organisations. EthNix Links has an open policy for membership. We continue to develop our skills to be the experts on our issues keeping in mind the systems and practices of a New Zealand society. We are often called to voice our opinion on social justice and wellbeing issues. We are self funded presently; however this had not disadvantaged us in anyway. We have continued to support families who have needed advocacy and settlement advice.
