This is Te Rōpū Whakaiti, a group within Presbyterian Support Northern, committed to supporting, uplifting, and empowering whānau and communities through a Māori lens, with compassion and collaboration at the heart of our work.
During this special week celebrating te reo Māori, we honour our journey as a rōpū that embodies the spirit of unity, whakapapa, and self-determination. Through the Māori language, we connect ancestral values with future aspirations.
What we offer and provide:
Whānau- and community-based support grounded in te ao Māori.
Relationship-building that strengthens identity and spiritual wellbeing.
Collaboration with Māori leaders to uplift and empower communities.
Looking ahead to 2075: By the year 2075, Te Rōpū Whakaiti will stand as a central pillar in sustaining te reo Māori and tikanga Māori within community services. We will be a leading example of how mātauranga Māori and the modern world can come together for the benefit of all.
