What does MFAL do?

Our vision is to advance mathematical education requirements for children and youth

throughout the whole of New Zealand.

We are connecting communities, improving and enhancing not only math skill

sets but also extending to assist their overall well-being and quality of their lives.

Mathematics for a Lifetime is committed to transforming the lives of

underprivileged children, youth and new immigrant children.

This allows families in financial stress to have the same opportunities as other children.

We are very passionate about eliminating inequalities and barriers in the lives of less fortunate children. 

I would like to know more!

Together we can make a difference

Imagine the joy of knowing that your support is helping a child overcome barriers, dream big and discover their love for mathematics. By subscribing for MFAL you are planting the seeds of hope and opportunity.

 Your generosity reaches far beyond a child learning mathematics. It touches the hearts of children, inspires their dreams, and builds a foundation for a future filled with possibilities. Subscribe now and be part of this extraordinary journey.
