Our Values
In all that we do, we demonstrate our values of compassion, excellence, and collaboration.
Our Trust
It only took one Zoom call between Greg, Rizwangul, and one other Uyghur New Zealander, during which Rizwangul presented her plan to help Uyghur entrepreneurs living in diaspora.
Compassion for assisting vulnerable and marginalized Uyghurs, through professional knowledge and work experience, has brought them and John, another dedicated New Zealander, together to form a Charitable Trust.
On 19 August 2021, we registered Empower Communities Charitable Trust (ECCT) in New Zealand and began our journey to support and empower Uyghurs.
