Lalotoa I Aotearoa Community and Social Services Trust
Papatoetoe-based Lalotoa I Aotearoa Community and Social Services Trust (LIA Trust) is the first Pasifi ka service provider accredited to provide a court-approved domestic violence programme.
By applying Pacifi c concepts to Pasifi ka problems, it is getting results. Many of those who enter its domestic violence programme have been serial offenders, but few, if any, reoffend.
It also provides clients with emergency housing, counselling services, information, advice, education and prevention strategies.
In 2007/08 an ASB Community Trust grant helped LIA with operating costs and equipment.
