Me aro koe ki te hā o Hineahuone,
Pay heed to the dignity of women.
Ko wai mātou / Who we are
Te Puawaitanga ki Ōtautahi Trust is a kaupapa Māori community-based organisation. It was founded in 2005 and is committed to upholding Te Tiriti o Waitangi in promoting whānau ora (wellbeing) for all, with a particular focus for whānau Māori. Our whakapapa is rooted in the vision and mahi of Dame Aroha Reriti-Crofts, of Ngāi Tūāhuriri, and the Ōtautahi branch of the Māori Women’s Welfare League who established the Trust to enhance the health and wellbeing of wāhine Māori and their whānau.
Delivering health, education, justice, and social services to whānau in the Waitaha Canterbury rohe, we work with whānau across the lifespan – from pregnancy through to end of life – as they navigate all aspects of their health and wellbeing. In addition to supporting māmā hapū and whānau in the early years of parenting, drawing on the mātauranga of our tīpuna, we also assist whānau who have physical illness (such as chronic disease), mental health and addiction challenges, and support those who are seeking to fulfil their cultural and spiritual aspirations. Holistic support is whānau-centric, with the wellbeing of tamariki paramount to everything we do.
