DONATE NOW

I'm humbled to be part of the Aid Trips in Tonga because the Tongan people are such warm hearted loving people that deserve a chance to live a healthy quality life like the rest of us.

I heard that there is someone doing something to help Tonga, and it wasn't about himself [Sione]. I was a bit cynical at first - then I saw what he was doing and I went ‘Oh wow - it's real’.

I have since joined a project while my son has been on 2. The camaraderie of the foundation and having people wanting to get together to make a difference while having a positive vibe amongst positive people wanting to make a difference. I think it is something we can do really well - getting that connection between Australia and the Pacific for me is the biggest thing.

I heard about Sione’s story in 2018 and helping the people of Tonga and the disability centre and I thought it's a good thing to get involved with. Ever since I have been involved - I have been back to Tonga about 5 times now with the Aid group in October and the Water Project Sione conducted over in the islands.

My favourite project I have been a part of has been helping out in the disability centre - I got so much out of it, helping the people there that cannot be helped themselves.

I am writing to express my admiration for the incredible work of Sione’s foundation in supporting the Alonga Disability Centre’s work caring for people with disabilities in the Kingdom of Tonga. I was honoured to meet the many staff and supporters during my visit to Tonga and was moved by their dedication and generosity.

You should be proud of how your foundation is supporting the centre and the dignity of its residents. Your foundation’s work is a testament to the importance of cooperation between the peoples of Australia and Tonga.

Seeing the direct impact is incredible!
I have participated in some of the foundation's local events, and it is so humbling to know that I have contributed to helping people who need it most - even in the smallest way. I have learnt so much now about what the foundation executes on their aid projects, and to say that I am excited to join next year is an understatement!

I can't wait to see what they plan next to help communities of the South Pacific that need it most

Sione's Foundation's impact on the Tongan community is just incredible!

I have only recently become involved with Sione's Foundation and I am absolutely blown away by how much they do. The charity golf day was my gateway to understanding their mission, and it was an event that was not only so much fun but truly eye opening. It was a fantastic day that left me both educated and inspired.

I'm so excited to get more involved and make a difference!

Fin Windows and Doors proudly supports Sione’s Foundation because of the great work they are doing on the ground in Tonga, improving actual facilities so that the whole Tongan community can benefit from it.

And after meeting Sione and seeing his passion and the works already carried out, we felt now we only have one choice, we need to support his foundation and help where we can.

Whilst Fin Windows and Doors are a local Hunter company who support local community schemes, we feel that we can also spread our wings per say and help where we can with other deserving charities like Sione’s Foundation.

You know, when you see an organisation that's really making a difference, it just kind of sticks with you. And that's exactly what's happening with the team from Sione's Foundation. They're not just talking about change; they're out there, boots on the ground, making it happen.

From building better schools to providing medical supplies, and even setting up sports programs - they're doing it all. I love being a part of the movement!

As soon as the big fella (Sione) told me about what he does and the direct impact that they make, I knew I had to get on board as a sponsor. The events they have are always amazing to attend and a great opportunity as a business owner but the real reward is seeing the genuine impact and difference they are making.

I'll be a sponsor for life and I'm grateful to be a part of their journey for change in Tonga

I wish to express my admiration for Sione and the Foundation for the work they do for the Tongan community. I am especially proud and honoured for the chance to be involved, with the members of Newcastle Mens Shed, travelling to Tonga as part of the 2022 and 2023 aid trips. Meeting new people from home and in Tonga and getting to work and socialise as a team for the Tongan children and general community is a genuine highlight in my life and one that I will never forget. I wish to continue being involved as long as I possibly can.

Donating paint and supplies may seem simple on the surface, but its profound effect on enhancing the lives of the people in Tonga is immeasurable. Through our contributions, we have played a role in revitalising schools and community spaces, creating environments that foster education, growth, and community spirit...

The dedication and passion exhibited by the Sione’s Foundation team have been truly inspiring. Their commitment to sustainable and impactful initiatives reflects a genuine desire to make a lasting difference in the lives of those they serve. It's been a pleasure to contribute to their initiatives and witness the positive changes in Tonga.

I first encountered Sione years ago through working with Sean Hersee and SAGE Painting. He would always come through the office with a big smile and a big dream. I recently travelled to Tonga to help Sione’s team work on ‘Eua Water Treatment Program - it was a challenging but rewarding experience and I look forward to going back...

... The golf days we have been to have been nothing but fun and laughter - and at the end of the day it's all about making money for the people of Tonga to deliver simple things that we take for granted like clean water. Getting to know Sione and his enthusiasm and passion for what the does - I would highly recommend anyone to come onboard as a sponsor or join the events and just show whatever support you can, because you know that he is making a difference and feels good to be a part of that.
