My parents sent me abroad (New Zealand) in January due to the situation in our country and honestly even after almost a year here I still feel homesick and lonely even though I’ve made some friends.

Is it just some friends or good friends? I think a good thing is have some regular activities. From your description, I guess you're something like a student? Maybe there are some afternoon or evening activities/clubs that match with your interests? If you're a nerd like me that'd be a computer club, D&D group. But you could as well join the orchestra, big band, or just go out and drink... You'll meet people once you go out. And it helps to bond if you share some interest. What also helps massively is to live at some busy student dorm with lots of other people and cook, have cocktail evening...
