Open Home Foundation

Nestled in the heart of Manawatu-Wanganui, Open Home Foundation is a beacon of hope for countless families and individuals in our community. Established with a vision to empower, support, and care, we've been doing just that for over five decades. Our journey began with a simple belief: every individual deserves a safe, nurturing environment where they can thrive. Over the years, we've grown into a comprehensive welfare organization, providing a wide array of services tailored to meet the unique needs of our community members. From social work services that offer guidance and support during challenging times, to caregiver assistance programs aimed at uplifting those who tirelessly nurture others, we strive to make a difference in every life we touch. Safety planning, supervised contact, and foster care services are integral parts of our mission. We understand that transitions can be daunting, especially for vulnerable individuals, and we're committed to making these processes as smooth and stress-free as possible. Our dedicated team is trained to offer the compassionate, professional support needed during such critical times. In addition, we extend our services to those with disabilities, providing home-based social work support that empowers them to live life on their terms. We believe in promoting independence and quality of life for all, regardless of ability. At Open Home Foundation, we pride ourselves on being more than just a welfare organization. We're a family, a community, and a safe haven for those who need us. Whether it's a listening ear, a guiding hand, or a shoulder to lean on, we're here, ready to help. We invite you to join our journey, as together, we build a safer, more compassionate Manawatu-Wanganui.
