Te Rau Ora

Tūngia te ururua, kia tupu whakaritorito te tupu o te harakeke. Clear the undergrowth so that the new shoots of the flax will grow. He Whare Wahine would like to thank Te Hapori Ora (The Village of Wellbeing) including the collective of Te Whariki Aroha for coming together and sharing insights from Kaimahi, Kaimanaaki Māori of their Family Violence and Sexual Violence roopu. Te Hapori Ora graciously opened their whare to host our first consultation hui for the Kaimahi Māori Workforce Development Project. The kōrero shared—grounded in whakapapa, identity, and rongoā, among other important themes—provided our team with a strong foundation and clear direction for the journey ahead. #TeHaporiOra #TheVillageofWellbeing #KaimahiMāoriWorkforce #CommunityEngagement #TePūkotahitanga
