Migrant Action Trust (MAT) helps migrants and former refugees from arrival to employment and integration in New Zealand. We help Aotearoa’s newest residents to secure meaningful employment and overcome the barriers to getting a driver licence.
An NZ drivers licence opens up job opportunities for them and gives a sense of belonging, while building their independence and improving well-being for the whole whānau.
The NZTA recommends 120 hours of driving for learners to be test-ready. But this is a huge challenge for former refugees who have no access to a practice car, no driving coach/supervisor and no funds to pay for lessons with a qualified driving instructor. All on top of language and literacy barriers!
We need funds to put towards the cost of driving lessons and practical driving tests for new settlers especially refugees from Afghanistan, single mothers applying for jobs and mothers with special needs children.
Each month we aim to help 10 new settlers to pass their driving tests - that's 10 families each month gaining independence, job opportunities and improving their well-being in Aotearoa.
We're talking new year resolutions...
