Te Taitimu Trust, established in 2007, aims to address Māori health disparities and cultivate future leaders. While initially focused on suicide prevention, the Trust has expanded its scope to encompass broader mental health and wellbeing initiatives. Grounded in te ao Māori, our strengths-based approach promotes aspirational whānau and fosters community connections and environmental stewardship.
Through activities like maara kai, mahinga kai, and rongoa, we integrate cultural identity and impart knowledge for sustainable living. Our workshops and hands-on activities teach sustainable farming practices and traditional harvesting methods, contributing to cultural identity and environmental care.
With a commitment to harmony between human actions and the environment, we educate our communities and ensure the transmission of traditional wisdom for future generations.
Getting up close and personal with rangatahi, connecting with our indigeneity and supporting them to navigate positive pathways.
Nurturing our rangatahi to become tomorrow's rangatira.
