Our Impact

Since Te Whakaora Tangata was established as a Charitable Trust in 2010, we've helped to transform the lives of over 1600 of the highest-risk families – positively impacting more than 5600 vulnerable children.

We have partnered with Impact Lab, co-founded by Sir Bill English, to calculate our social value. They have calculated a Social Return on Investment of 753% - meaning that that for every $1 that is invested in Te Whakaora, we deliver $7.53 of measurable social good to New Zealand in reduced family violence, reduced addiction, reduced reoffending, improved employment, and improved mental health.

South Auckland and the Far North have colourful, vibrant cultures, warm hospitality, and rich intergenerational stories that weave families together. Yet sadly the social fabric in these communities and many others, are unravelling with increasing numbers of whānau at breaking point.

We warmly welcome your support to help create a brighter future for South Auckland and the Far North's most vulnerable families.
