The Village Café - Māngere East

Picture
The Mangere East Community Cafe Project opens an exciting employment pathway to youth, provides a community hub, and promotes healthier local eating options in the Mangere community.

Over half of the residents in the Mangere community are under 25, and the unemployment rate is more than double Auckland’s unemployment rate. The Mangere East ACCESS Trust team of Maria Hunt, Hone Fowler, and Belinda Fowler, are creating the Community Cafe Project to open community-based opportunities for training and employment in Mangere.

The community cafe will operate under the Mangere East ACCESS Trust, a charitable entity set up in 1997 to enrich the lives of people living in the Mangere community. Launching soon!
