Our Mission

building a village of well-being

At Te Hapori Ora, we’re driven by a vision to forge a future where Māori men and women thrive in a community untouched by the shadows of social violations—free from family violence, sexual violence, organized crimes, and the despair that leads to suicide. Our mission is to cultivate a society that elevates social development, financial well-being, and environmental sustainability to the forefront of its priorities.

Empowerment Through Connection and Culture

We are dedicated to empowering individuals and families to carve out their own paths, to reclaim their Mana, and to live as their most authentic selves. This journey of empowerment is guided by a holistic approach deeply rooted in Māori cultures and values. By fostering a safe environment for open, courageous conversations, we enable families to build and nurture profound, meaningful relationships. Our commitment extends to giving back to the community, with services thoughtfully co-designed to meet the real needs of our people.

Our mission is not just about addressing immediate needs; it’s about laying the groundwork for a sustainable future, one where every member of our community can flourish.
