Yesterday marked such a beautiful and meaningful milestone, THE LAUNCH of . For us Samoans, this isn’t just a product. It’s a taste of home, a reminder of our childhood. A reflection of a mother’s love that lingers and how far it can reach, even from beyond this life. Her spirit was definitely felt and we were all so moved by every aspect of this launch and what this product presents.

We’re proud to introduce the Youth Legacy Programme 🙌🏼 a hands-on, year-long experience launching in 2026, created to help young people grow in identity, leadership, creativity, and confidence 🌺 Here’s our first big cheque we designed, printed, and assembled, a skill our youth will also get the opportunity to learn.

A massive thank you to for connecting us with the , where we met the extraordinary leaders Koreti Mitai and Shenaaz Nuu Leaso (left of photo) also co-founders of . It’s been such a pleasure getting to know you up-coming Poly queens and we can’t wait to create with you and the team 🖨️🎨

The programme is inspired by our own journey growing up in Mangere with big ideas but limited access to creative spaces, tools and resources. We want to change that for the next generation. Students will learn personal branding, digital storytelling, emotional wellbeing, healthy relationships, and gain real-world experience through community events, connecting with our elderly and mentorship from Māori & Pasifika leaders across South Auckland. There’s so much more planned but we are keeping it simple and achievable for our first year.

For three years, In Loving Memory NZ has operated completely self-funded while reinvesting our own profits into supporting local small businesses and collaborating on community events. We are building this programme the same way, from our own pockets and our passion for our community. We are also now opening the door to sponsorships and partnerships to help our youth go even further. Anyone who feels called to be part of this mission is welcome to connect with us 🫱🏻‍🫲🏽
