Cheekee Hero is a whānau-run charity. We celebrate, support, and raise awareness of tamariki (children), rangatahi (youth), and their whānau (families) with different abilities. Our tagline CONNECT - AMPLIFY - CREATE CHANGE is our mission. We will connect families with different abilities; amplify children's superpowers and create change by working collaboratively with charities and organisations, individuals, and their families with any disability or illness to empower and champion each other. We're powered by a fun digital super robot named Cheekee who helps children realise that their disability or illness can change the world for good, in turn, Cheekee is made stronger through the kindness, resilience, and joy of all children and can only be seen by those who exhibit these values. We represent unheard voices through storytelling, digital art, and combining the collective power of all charities and organisations that represent all persons with disability and illnesses. We're on a mission to change the narrative by creating our uniquely, entertaining, and empathetic digital storybook series told through an indigenous lens, to inspire, heal others and pave the way for creatives of different abilities to share their experiences with each other and educate society.
