In very simple terms, whānau ora relates to the wellbeing of whānau or families. Whānau Ora is determined by each whānau in relation to their own circumstances.
Tama Corporate was established to provide services across the spectrum's of welfare, health and education. This was in response to the growing problems that whānau and tamariki within Porirua were experiencing. These kuia were also supported by Maaka Metekingi, Te Puoho Katene and Alfred Potaka connects anyone facing homelessness to the people who can help. We can help you find emergency housing, meals, health services, counselling, legal help and more, all in one place.
Kaupapa
Our Kaupapa is the heart of our organisation. It is our vision,mission, values, and principles which all members of our organisation have agreed as the foundation for our actions.
Moemoeā - Vision “Te Roopu Awhina ki Porirua is a centre of excellence in the delivery of integrated and holistic services for the benefit of the Wellington region”
Whakatakanga
If you’re having trouble staying housed, you’ve come to the right place. These services can help you find a safe space to stay in the short-term and help you work towards finding a more permanent home in the long-term.
Mirum est notare
“To conserve, promote, advice and assist whanau, hapu and iwi to contribute toward improving the physical, mental, spiritual, social, recreational, vocational and economic life of their members in the Wellington region”
Whānau Ora empowers whānau as a whole rather than focusing separately on individual family members and their problems.
These concepts are all part of the Whānau Ora vision. At its heart are New Zealand families who have been empowered to transform their own futures by taking control of their lives.
