Celebrating Community: Zebunisso Alimova Supports Ngā Manu as Easter Gold Sponsor and Annual Partner

At Ngā Manu Nature Reserve, we believe in the power of partnerships to help us protect and celebrate Aotearoa’s incredible wildlife. This year, we’re thrilled to welcome Zebunisso Alimova & Mike Pero Mortgages as the Gold Sponsor for our Easter Weekend and an Annual Sponsor for 2025/2026. Her commitment to our community and shared values of education, connection, and support make this partnership truly special.

A Passion for Community and Conservation

For Zebunisso, supporting Ngā Manu is a natural fit.
“I'm passionate about our local community, especially the wildlife reserve that makes the Kāpiti Coast so special. Ngā Manu is inspiring and a cornerstone of conservation in our area. I'm proud to play a small role in supporting their important work. Easter Weekend is a wonderful time for families to enjoy this beautiful environment together.”
Her generosity will help us bring four days of whānau fun to the Kāpiti Coast, with an Easter Rock Hunt, face painting, Native Bird Close Encounters, eel feedings, and more—all designed to connect people with nature in an engaging way. As part of her sponsorship, Zebunisso is also bringing a Photobooth activation, ensuring that families can take home a happy snippet from the weekend and treasure those special memories.

Homeownership, Families and Nature

As a trusted mortgage adviser with Team Zebunisso at Mike Pero Mortgages, Zebunisso is dedicated to helping families with expert mortgage advice. But her work isn’t just about home loans—it’s about creating stability, educating clients, and building strong communities. That’s where she sees a perfect alignment with Ngā Manu’s mission.
“We have extensive experience supporting local customers with diverse home lending needs, and we're dedicated to helping them achieve great outcomes. We pride ourselves on educating our customers about their options and taking the stress out of finding the right home loan. Similarly, Ngā Manu educates people on the significance of our natural heritage, aligning our values in education and support.”

Why Kāpiti?

Zebunisso sees Kāpiti as more than just a great place to live—it’s an incredible place to raise a family and connect with nature. Frombeautiful beaches to lush forests, it’s a region rich in biodiversity and community spirit.
“It's a magical place to raise a family, with inspiring natural landscapes from wildlife reserves to beautiful beaches. The community is supportive and vibrant, making it a wonderful place to live.”

Angitūtanga: Supporting Leadership and Growth

Zebunisso’s support for Ngā Manu aligns with Angitūtanga—one of Ngā Manu’s kaupapa pillars, representing leadership and achievement. Just as she empowers people to take the next step in homeownership, Ngā Manu empowers visitors to learn about and protect our native species. Through this partnership, we’re fostering a shared commitment to education, sustainability, and future generations.
