Welcome to Auckland Asian Association

Auckland Asian Association adopted “Bamboo plant” as its philosophical model. Bamboo is commonly found in Asia. It represents sustainability, renewability, versatility and resilience. It provides for understanding of Asian values and aspirations. Two Asian proverbs “Be like bamboo. The higher you grow, the deeper you bow.” “The bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists.”
Auckland Asian Association is a New Zealand Incorporated Society, a non-profit organisation established on 14th of March,2014. The main purpose of AAA is to enhance and empower the social well-being of Asian in Auckland by providing community development, advocacy and support services, social change education and training programs.
AAA vision is to be the premier and leading organization towards representing the collective voices of Asian community in Auckland. By combining Asian diverse skills, talents and resources to support our community objectives, AAA strives to benefit not only the Asian community, but also society at large. AAA hopes to create a unified sense of identity and voice among all Asian by strategically positioning Asian in Auckland to increase capacity for actions and co-operation to meet the challenges ahead. AAA will be “an enabler” to hasten the process for Asians to connect and engage with one another.
