ABOUT US
Te Hāhi Aotearoa is a faith-based volunteer organisation that provides care and support to people impacted by family harm and hardship. Te Hāhi is made up of a collective of churches within local communities that partner with the Police and other local services in providing this support.
HOW WE HELP
There are many people in our communities who are isolated and ‘fall through the gaps’. They don’t require specialist care but have found themselves being overwhelmed by their circumstances. To have a group available and willing to provide assistance can be the difference between ongoing suffering or overcoming the challenges facing them.
Collectively, as churches sharing resources and volunteers, we can make a significant impact.
SUPPORTING FAMILIES
Our volunteers visit families on behalf of the Police, and offer awhi (support) in many ways - through kai, practical help around the home, or simply a listening ear.
SUPPORTING POLICE
Our volunteers also support and encourage Police staff in appreciation for their efforts and the burden they bear.
“Thank you for coming, you’ve given me hope.”
“The whanau are extremely grateful ... by the support and care they have received. ”
