Congratulations to Moana Research, winner of the 2018 Pacific Media Network Pacific Social Enterprise Award at the 2018 National Pacific Business Trust Awards.

Moana Research is a consultancy group of passionate researchers and clinicians committed to making the early years the best start in life for children. The organisation is focused on evidence-based solutions through research and workforce training, enabling families to have access to essential services and resources during pregnancy and in the first five years of life.

Moana’s purpose is to help families and communities thrive and, through its work, they are better engaged in leading their own wellness journey. Moana works with Early Childhood Education stakeholders and community groups to gather and apply evidence, and works in partnership with other agencies and providers to support the work they do to improve the wellbeing of children in the early years.
