Description

Te Waka Whaiora Trust is a charitable trust located in Porirua providing a sub-acute whare, service navigation and home based support for mental health.

We were formed in April 2013 as a result of an amalgamation of two key Kaupapa Māori Health Providers in the Wellington region. The two organisations, Te Roopu Whakapakari Ora Trust and Te Roopu Pookai Taaniwhaniwha, undertook a process to merge as a combining resources strategy. Combining our resources, knowledge, workforce, infrastructures and systems not only increased efficiency but it also increased capacity and capability.  More
