OUR
KAUPAPA
Founded in 1986, Roka Hurihia and
Kerry Cameron formed a partnership
with Kāti Huirapa Rūnaka ki Puketeraki
in 1988, which led to the establishment
of Te Whānau Arohanui Trust in Waitati,
Dunedin - a charitable trust dedicated to
sheltering and nurturing young people
in need of care. Our vision is to create
a safe haven where tamariki and
whānau can come together, be nurtured, and reach their full potential - free from harmful influences.
