Te Whare Hauora is the only kaupapa Māori refuge service for whānau living in Canterbury and is the only kaupapa Māori, specialised refuge service in the South Island.  Our foundation is built on the values of Te Ao Māori and the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi in all our practices and services.

Ōnuku Marae is the place we call home. It represents the founding spirit of our past and nourishes our spirit and enriches our lives. We firmly believe that our home is who we share it with. So we welcome you to come and experience the spirit of Ōnuku.

Since 1983, Te Ora Hou Ōtautahi has been serving urban rangatahi and whānau through kaupapa Māori, relationship-based support. Our focus is on creating spaces where people feel seen, valued, and empowered in their journey toward rangatiratanga. We’re more than a service provider, we’re committed to doing what truly makes a difference. Our mahi is grounded in Te Mauri o Te Ora Hou, the values that guide how we work, and shaped by TOHATOHA, our way of sharing power, building trust, and uplifting our hapori.
