18 Dec Celebrating Ms. Jennifer Tupou: A Leader Driving Impact Through Finance

September 8th, 2025 – MORDI Tonga Trust is proud to congratulate Board Member Ms. Jennifer Tupou on her recent recognition as the 2025 Finance Leader – Growth Entity Award recipient. This prestigious award celebrates her outstanding leadership and the transformative role she has played in strengthening The Fono Trust’s finance function to support both organisational growth and meaningful community impact.

In her role at The Fono Trust, Jennifer has led a remarkable shift in how finance supports mission-driven work. Under her guidance, the finance function has evolved into a strong, strategic backbone for the organisation—one that enables better decision-making, strengthens governance, and ensures long-term sustainability. Her leadership has helped build robust systems and processes that allow The Fono Trust to grow confidently while remaining accountable to the communities it serves.

What sets Jennifer apart is her ability to connect financial excellence with social purpose. By championing sound governance, transparent systems, and financial inclusion, she has ensured that financial management is not just about compliance or reporting, but about enabling impact. These improvements have supported organisational expansion, strengthened service delivery, and enhanced the organisation’s ability to respond to community needs.

For MORDI Tonga Trust, Jennifer’s achievement is a source of pride and inspiration. As a board member, she brings deep expertise, strategic insight, and a values-driven approach to governance. Her experience strengthens MORDI’s oversight and supports our work across Tonga, particularly as we continue to scale programs that build resilient livelihoods, support smallholder farmers, and strengthen community-based development initiatives.

We extend our warmest congratulations to Ms. Jennifer Tupou on this well-deserved recognition. Her achievement reflects the power of strong leadership, the importance of good financial governance, and the impact that committed Pasifika leaders can have in driving sustainable, community-centred development. We are honoured to have her as part of the MORDI Tonga Trust Board.
