Banyuhay Aotearoa Charitable Trust

"Banyuhay" is a coined word which means “Bagong Anyo ng Buhay” or new form of life. This encapsulates the new life Filipino migrants discover and establish in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Banyuhay Aotearoa is a registered Charitable Trust incorporated in February 2023. We aim to enrich, engage and empower the Filipino migrant community in New Zealand, by organising events and forums to learn about Philippine history, culture and current events. We do all these with the support of our growing network of volunteers, and in partnership with our allied organisations and groups.

We currently have an active presence in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

Vision: We envision an empowered and well-informed Filipino community united in enriching the lives of Filipinos in New Zealand and the Philippines.

Mission: Become a reliable conduit for aid and support to the Filipino community in New Zealand and the Philippines, by establishing reliable and efficient processes to award grants and deliver relief while working hand-in-hand with allied organisations; and facilitate educational initiatives about Filipino history, culture and current events.
