The Aotearoa team has been working for 4 years to get this life changing workshop project into our prisons. Out of 19 in the country we have made connections to run our workshops in 5 – with already incredible results!<\/p>\n

With your help, we plan to be in all prisons by the end of 2028.<\/p>\n

The Compassion Prison Project (CPP) is a transformative initiative committed to bringing healing, trauma-awareness, and human connection into correctional institutions.<\/p>\n

At the heart of this movement is Trauma Talks, a 16-week curriculum that cultivates compassion, accountability, and personal agency among incarcerated individuals through community building and trauma-informed facilitation.<\/p>\n

We thank our volunteers who have done all this work, and now we are ready to pay them, as they have not been paid anything so far!<\/p>\n

We celebrate Dr Kyle Van de Bittner for being the founder and CEO of the Aotearoa branch and getting us connected with the prisons here.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It\u2019s one of our most overlooked, highest-impact levers for real social change.<\/p>\n

Today, there are 10,000 incarcerated people in Aotearoa;1 with over 50% being M\u0101ori. M\u0101ori make 15% of our population.<\/p>\n

Our reoffending rates are high. Over 50% of people with previous convictions are reconvicted within 2 years following release from prison.<\/p>\n

Now we are asking for some financial support to continue this work and
achieve the proven outcomes for our prisoners!<\/p>

\u201cIt made me realise the way I acted throughout the years \u2013 It\u2019s had a big
impact on the way I behaved. It\u2019s made me realise and accept my trauma
and how to deal with my trauma.\u201d Participant quote<\/p>

We see many trusts and donating companies as problem solvers.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

So, can\u2019t you be what leadership means today?<\/p>

We believe you can if you choose!<\/p>

We can\u2019t build the future while ignoring the people society left behind.So, let’s lead differently!<\/p>

Your donations to us will see more prisoners experiencing our 16-part
workshops and extensive collaborative wrap-around support that will change
their lives.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
