How we can help

Te Pūtahi-Nui-o-Rehua Charitable Trust (CC58534) was established in New Zealand, primarily in Te Tai Tokerau, for charitable purposes. The trust's mission is to pioneer and support innovative Māori approaches for the development of whānau, hapū, and iwi, ensuring the health, wealth, and wellbeing of generations to come. It embodies "the plan of salvation" for our people, helping our whanau transition "from a world of survival to a world of thriving."
