Enterprises

Our social enterprises build work around people’s skills, rather than trying to fit people into existing work. Our community’s energy and ideas have created social enterprises full of potential for earning income and brighter futures.

Our social enterprises offer
work opportunities

The best pathways for people are through their skills, interest and knowledge. We explore their ideas for creating careers and new opportunities.

If you are interested in contracting us or want to support our mahi, please email works@lifewise.org.nz.
