Kaupapa

Our kaupapa is "aroha ki te takata".

We are a marae-based provider that works to provide positive alternative services for whaanau, hapuu, and iwi through kaupapa Maaori practice. We offer a bi-cultural holistic hauora service, giving manaaki, awhi and tautoko to ngaa taangata.

To support and empower whaanau who are least resourced in the accordance with the bi-cultural partnership envisaged in Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

To ensure that whaanau wellbeing is the priority focus.
