If you’re wondering how Whāriki Sponsorship can help improve health outcomes for whānau in our community, here’s something we’re proud to share.

𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝑹𝒐𝒐𝒎 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑴ā𝒎ā

𝑲𝒐 𝒕𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒆𝒏𝒆 𝒕𝒆 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒐 𝒕𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒌𝒂 -
Mothers are like the hull of the canoe, they are the heart of the whānau 💗

When māmā are well, the whānau is well.

A warm, nurturing respite space where māmā can come to slow down, rest and recharge. Māmā can utilise this space to take a break, enjoy a hot shower, sleep or simply come in for a cuppa and a breather, while your pēpē is safe and cared for by our aunties.

Your support will be an invaluable part of contributing to improving the experiences and health outcomes of new māmā and whānau in our community.

We want this space to be an extension of māmā's village reminding her that she doesn’t have to do it alone.

We’ve come so far already, but we’ve still got further to go X

Every visit includes time to check in with you too, because parenting isn't always easy.
