Update: We are taking a break

Our near three year journey as a charitable entity has been educational, inspirational and informative. We know our concepts are viable and worthwhile, our business case built on recent Masters level research and world authority evidence and opinion. The financial hurdles have however become barriers to implementation from MVP. The finance a non viable constraint. Economics and environment have changed. By December 2024 what had been promising national & international funding accessibility changed overnight with essentially cessation of significant humanitarian, charity and NGO funding globally.

This is a changing world and we will explore new ways for equitable gratis delivery of our community health access initiatives. Meanwhile we have an obligation to ourselves, our life’s and living. However, our courses & resources will remain open and freely accessable.

Providing equitable access to HCV screening and links to treatment enabling and empowering our communities in providing health access by friendly faces from familiar places

Kaiawhina or peer-led HCV antibody Point of Care Testing (POCT) is largely an uncoordinated and unregulated exercise, largely by people with lived & living experience of HCV including injecting illicit drugs. Their skills, knowledge and expertise are unrecognised, leading to a disconnect between practice and positive outcomes, e.g., identifying HCV exposed wai ora (those seeking wellness), and integration with diagnosis, treatment and cure. We can change that.

As a self-proclaimed administration geek, if it involves a spreadsheet, a task management tool, a deadline nightmare or tackling multiple tasks at once, I’m in my happy place. I’m the person everyone goes to when they need something done or the calm brought to the chaos. Obsessed with being organised, I can wrap a process around any task no matter how messy like an elf wraps a present at Christmas time. I’ve worked with not-for profit organisations, various New Zealand public sectors, small start-up businesses through to large corporates so I don’t scare easily and chances are, I’ve done it. Having been in toxic workplaces in the past, I like to treat all people with respect, kindness, and honesty. I’m super nice, (just ask my Mum) and will go out of my way to help. I love what I do and I do it well.

We work to eliminate infectious diseases, globally. Our specialisation is in developing health solutions for the most at-risk communities. Doing so ultimately builds a safer, healthier world for everyone. What makes these solutions unique is that they are designed to be scaled for maximum impact across diverse communities, populations, and regions. We do this via a highly successful, three step approach: Understanding: the impacts of infectious diseases in individuals and populations. Intervention: an holistic approach to developing, testing, and evaluating new strategies to prevent and treat infectious diseases. Implementation: a consultative approach to working with affected and at-risk communities to deliver evidence-based health solutions.
