Kaupapa Whānau

E hara taku toa e te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini – it is the work of many that achieves success.

Kuapapa whānau are the life force behind our kaupapa. Sometimes they are actual whānau, some are volunteers, or participants that become kaitiaki of taonga tākaro or another form of mātaunaga.

And some are organisations with similar visions, missions and values where strategic relationships lead to partnership that enable us to provide our range services to various communities.

We are privileged to be able to share mātauranga and tākaro and could not do it without the help of many supporters.
