Japan Kauri Education Trust (JKET)
The Japan Kauri Education Trust is a community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting Japanese language education, cultural heritage, and inclusive family programs in Aotearoa New Zealand.
We create joyful and accessible events that connect generations, celebrate diversity, and promote cross-cultural understanding. Our activities range from storytelling and seasonal festivals to parenting workshops and youth-led initiatives, all rooted in care, collaboration, and creativity.
All proceeds from our fundraising events go directly toward sustaining heritage language programs, developing safe and inclusive spaces for families, and building resilient community networks.
