Muslim Leadership Wānanga

In June, the New Zealand Muslim Leadership Collective held their first leadership programme in Wellington for emerging Muslim community leaders. Sohadi, Iqra, Mahrukh, Haris, and Nour attended this event and gave a beautiful presentation about NIYA!

Ministry of Ethnic Communities Launch

On the 1st July, Haris and Sondos represented NIYA at the Ministry Ethnic Communities launch in Wellington. At the hui, our Co-Chairs wanted to ensure the protection and equitable inclusion of NZ Muslim youth is included in the direction and strategy of the new Ministry.

The Dominion Post – NIYA’s story

Last month, we were interviewed by The Dominion Post for a profile on NIYA. Adibah, Haris, and Sondos were all interviewed and spoke beautifully on NIYA’s vision. ”It’s a home where we want people to know that they’ll always have a place no matter who they are or where they are in their journey.” - Adibah
