Tōfā Mamao are a grassroots collective of tagata sa’ilimalo (Pacific disabled people, their families/nofo-a-kainga, and carers/supporters/tautua soifua in Aotearoa). As a proudly independent national non-profit led entirely by tagata sa’ilimalo, we play a unique role in advancing the voice of lived experience from a Pacific and collectivist worldview.
