We empower tamariki and rangatahi through meaningful connections and positive experiences, grounded in the strength of whānau and community. As a care-focused organisation, we recognise that lasting change goes beyond individual support – it requires transforming systems to create equitable, responsive, and empowering environments for rangatahi and their whānau.
Through our work, we foster systemic change ensuring that care, mentoring and support services are whānau-centered, culturally grounded, mana-enhancing and future-focused. We work collaboratively to help shape a future with thoughtful, confident rangatahi, strengthened, resilient whānau, and safe, thriving communities.
Ma to rourou, ma tāku rourou, ka ora ai te iwi – With your food basket, and with my food basket, the people will prosper.
