Ko Wai Mātou?
Hāpai Tūhono (HT) has brought together an experienced creative team to deliver a service by Māori for Māori. We are unapologetically committed to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and Tino Rangatiratanga, promoting transformational outcomes for Māori to create life and wealth sovereignty. Drawing on years of lived experience and expertise, we collaborate with our rangatahi, whānau & hāpori to do "whatever it takes".
Hāpai Tūhono, in its 3 years of delivery, hassupported over 150 rangatahi into sustained employment or education and provided holistic career support to 160 kaimahi Māori across Aotearoa. As advocates for system change, we champion a “By Māori, For Māori, For All model” to embed culturally relevant career development.
We are committed to rangatahi and whanau at the center, using Matauranga Māori and applying a Te Ao Māori worldview in all we do. Acknowledging racism, systemic failure, and inequality, addressing the inequities and intergenerational trauma that has created barriers hindering access and opportunities for Māori to actively participate in everyday life in Aotearoa.
As 'super connectors' we pride ourselves on our ability to be agile, working with and across diverse groups, networks and stakeholders in our hāpori. Want to know more? Click on the link below to connect with us today!
