Background Information:​

In June 2022 Mahi for Ukraine held a fundraising event “Atawhai for Ukraine” where we raised funds to support Ukrainian families moving to New Zealand to escape the war. All proceeds of the event went into the Ukrainian Refugee Relocation Trust which was set up by the Mahi for Ukraine team members with the aim to help newly arrived Ukrainians sheltering in New Zealand. 
 
The Ukrainian Refugee Relocation Trust is managed by an independent trustee – Perpetual Guardian (trading name of Perpetual Trust Limited). In relation to the philanthropic funding stewarded by Perpetual Guardian, the company is acting at all times as Trustee or Custodian of the charitable trusts or estates to which it is appointed and not in its personal capacity. In relation to the philanthropic funding stewarded by Perpetual Guardian, Perpetual Guardian includes the company as a whole and its advisory boards, co-trustees, committees that are attached to charitable entities for which they act as Trustee or Custodian.
 
The application process below was created in order for Ukrainians who recently arrived in New Zealand on the 2022 Special Ukraine Visa to express their interest in receiving support packages provided through the Atawhai for Ukraine initiative (via the Ukrainian Refugee Relocation Trust), and to assess their applications for eligibility accordingly.
