MFAL - focus on breaking down barriers and building futures!
At Mathematics for a Lifetime (MFAL), we are committed to making this a reality.
We are a charitable trust driven by the belief that mathematical education is a tool to eliminating inequalities and barriers in the lives of less fortunate children, youth, and new immigrants throughout New Zealand.
Our work extends beyond just numbers.
We connect communities, providing professional mathematical tuition and support that enhances not only academic skills but also a child's overall well-being and quality of life.
This means families in financial stress can access the same educational opportunities as other children, fostering confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning.
Discover how you can help us empower the next generation.
