Kia ora means “to live”, “to be well”. We are on a mission to enliven, to empower and to support the wellbeing of indigenous people around the world. We do this through utilising cultural frameworks and strengths-based approaches to community development, building upon the traditional collective structures within indigenous communities, and developing the capacity of community leaders to take action. We also work with a range of non-indigenous groups and stakeholders to facilitate co-designed, co-constructed approaches and solutions with indigenous communities
Helping to grow the next generation of cultural leaders, social changemakers and future innovators is what drives us to do what we do. Having recently returned to Aotearoa New Zealand after living in Canada working to support First Nations people, we see a wealth of opportunity in harnessing more indigenous collaboration. Our global experiences have broadened our thinking and sharpened our focus on pushing the boundaries of possibility.
Get in touch. We’d love to talk more about how we can support you
