Te Whakaora Tangata

Our vision is to see once vulnerable families living well and children given every opportunity to reach their full potential. We’re passionate about restoring high-risk South Auckland families desperately in need of a better future – families overwhelmed by poverty, violence, sexual abuse, drugs and crime. Parents cannot create a safe, nurturing environment for their children if the important relationships in their own lives are dysfunctional. Therefore our work is uniquely focussed on restoring relationships by addressing past trauma; resourcing families with tools to live well; and reconnecting people with opportunities to study, work and give back to their community. Through our Family Restoration courses, whanau coaching, one-on-one and group mentoring, advocacy and other initiatives – the lives of hundreds of vulnerable families have been dramatically changed.
