Te Houtaewa Māori Charitable TrustRegistered

Whānau transformation through Rongoā. Since 1991, Te Houtaewa Māori Charitable Trust has provided relief, support and care to people in need, so whānau are happy, healthy and heard. Rongoā, the restoration of balance where balance has been lost, is the foundation of all we do. We work through three connected pou, open to all peoples:

1. Hauora: To relieve sickness and distress and promote the wellbeing of whānau through Rongoā Māori and holistic care, alongside health services, in clinics, hospitals, marae and the community.

2. Mātauranga: To advance education through wānanga and training grounded in mātauranga Māori and tikanga, growing practitioners and a skilled workforce, and preserving Māori knowledge for future generations.

3. Tāpoi: To protect and promote Māori cultural heritage, and relieve disadvantage through employment and enterprise pathways, kaitiakitanga and reciprocal Indigenous knowledge exchange.
