Support Siva Afi in Aotearoa
Help keep Siva Afi alive in New Zealand
For seven years, Siva Afi Festival has been a free event for our community.
But without confirmed funding for 2027, this year could be the last.
As a not-for-profit organisation, we rely entirely on grants, sponsorship, and community support.
Every dollar truly matters. Whether you give $10 or $10,000, you are helping to keep this platform alive for our young performers, our families, and our wider community.
Siva Afi Festival is more than two nights on stage. It’s workshops throughout the year, equipment and safety standards, management and logistics, mentoring, and the ongoing work that keeps this cultural tradition strong in Aotearoa.
We invite you to support us, however you can.
