Supporting Communities
At Merge NZ, we recognise the utmost importance of supporting the Deaf ecosystem, the vitality of the Deaf culture, our community, and New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) hinges on this support. By endorsing these organisations, groups, and individuals, we contribute to the preservation and promotion of their unique culture and language. We have a presence in every community in New Zealand and we believe we have a vital part to play in supporting these communities to build a brighter future and help them reach their full potential.
