Kia Kotahi te Hoe
Further together.
Ko mātou ngā iwi o Te Tauihu o Te Waka-ā-Māui, e mahi ngātahi ana, kia tautoko i te whānau.
Te Kotahi o Te Tauihu Charitable Trust was set up in February 2021 by the eight iwi of Te Tauihu o Te Waka-a-Māui (top of the South Island) to advance health and wellbeing, alleviate poverty, ensure adequate food is available and promote education and skills within the communities of Te Tauihu (the top of the South Island) and in particular our Māori communities.
Using a kaupapa Māori approach, we work with whānau Māori, government agencies, education and work providers, and NGOs to ensure existing health and wellbeing services are fit for purpose for our people, and that no whānau in Te Tauihu is left behind.
We advocate and connect. We support whānau who might need that extra help.
