Mō Te Awhi

Our Story

Moemoeā – Our Dream

Ka tū pakari au me tōku kiri, ki te taha o tōku iwi - I will stand proud in my own skin with my own people.

E hāngai ana tēnei whakapuakitanga ki ngā whāinga matua o te kaupapa o Te Awhi Whānau.

E tiro kau ana tēnei whakapuakitanga ki te oranga katoa o te tangata, mai te tinana, te hinengaro tae noa ki tona wairua.

Ko ta Te Awhi Whānau, he hikotahi ki o rātou kiritaki, kia whai waahi ai rātou te tū mana motuhake

The use of the word skin encompasses a person’s whole being ‘te tuakiri o te tangata’. The kaupapa of Te Awhi is reflected in this statement as it’s an outcome sought for both Te Awhi and Tū Whānau.

Our Vision

Te Awhi has as our vision the goal of reconnection and relationships:

Ka tū pakari au me tōku kiri, ki te taha o tōku iwi
I will stand proud in my own skin with my own people
