“…New Horizons, in supporting women to take on second chance learning and new research opportunities, is engaged in social change and helping to eliminate poverty from our community.
That’s because we know that a mother’s education is crucial to the educational prospects of her children. Because we know that education is the key to eliminating inter-generational poverty”.
The Hon Metiria Turei, Green Party Co-leader at the New Horizons for Women Trust award ceremony in Wellington September 2009.
