About Matavai#

The name Matavai, meaning a source of water or spring, was chosen for its deep cultural significance. It represents the way Pacific communities are united by the waters that connect our islands.  

Matavai is a free newsletter that provides monthly updates on key education priorities, regional events, success stories and opportunities for training and scholarships.
