Toi Rongoā is part of the Young Enterprise Scheme (YES), a nationwide programme that gives students the opportunity to run their own business while still in school. Through YES, we’ve learned how to develop a real product, manage a team, and connect with our community. As students from Westlake Girls High School, we’re proud to represent our school while creating a business that promotes inclusion, education, and the celebration of New Zealand’s three official languages.

We are proud to be supported by Deaf Aotearoa, a charity that actively advocates for and empowers the Deaf community across New Zealand. As part of our commitment to inclusivity and accessibility, we are donating 10% of our final revenue to Deaf Aotearoa. By purchasing our product, you are not only learning valuable sign communication skills, but also directly contributing to the wellbeing and support of Deaf and hard-of-hearing Kiwis.
