Ngā Tini Whetū
Ngā Tini Whetū is a duel focused programme designed to uplift whānau through wraparound wellbeing services. By combining social, health, and cultural supports, it strengthens whānau capability, restores connection, and builds sustainable pathways toward self-determination. Guided by Mana Motuhake, the programme helps whānau to navigate life’s challenges with confidence, dignity, and collective support. Ngā Tini Whetū is focused on the two following initiatives.
Te Tira Kahurangi recognises tamariki who possess deep spiritual awareness and sensitivity, children often misunderstood through Western diagnostic lenses. This kaupapa supports whānau to nurture these tamariki as kahurangi (treasures), providing tailored wānanga, cultural resources, and guidance that restore mana and understanding. Together, we help whānau recognise the gifts within their children and support them to flourish spiritually and emotionally.

Arohī is a two-year programme designed to supporthapū māmā and their whānau by nurturing self-love, self-care, and inner strength. Guided by the whakataukī “Mā te Arohi, ka Arohā – When we love ourselves, we are able to love others,” the programme empowers māmā to honour their own needs in order to create a stable, loving foundation for pēpi to grow. Arohi offers one-on-one support, home visits, wānanga, and group experiences that explore ways to reduce stress and anxiety, build knowledge around self-care, and increase safety. Participants access valuable resources while learning sustainable, cost-effective wellbeing practices. Grounded in a mana-enhancing approach, Arohi uplifts māmā and whānau to journey toward whānau ora with dignity and aroha.
