Careif was founded by Prof Kamaldeep Bhui and Dr Albert Persaud in partnership with the University of Auckland in 2001.
Currently, nearly all staff give their time as volunteers. (Our only paid member of staff at present is the charity administration manager). At present, we have three patrons, who are recognised internationally and nationally for their work and contribution to humanities, reconciliation, justice, sport and young people.
Our governance structure includes a board of trustees, a board of directors and a management team. We plan to expand additional contribution from people who may be patrons, international fellows, volunteers or advisors.
Patrons are individuals who hold international acclaim and status in the areas of humanities, fairness, justice, reconciliation and sport and young people.

Our fellows will agree to take on a specific responsibility of careif’s work, such as setting up innovative networks between people, progammes and countries.
