Te Whariki Manawahine O Hauraki

Nestled in the heart of Waikato, Te Whariki Manawahine O Hauraki is a beacon of hope and support for those in need. Established with an unwavering commitment to nurture and protect the wellbeing of our community, we are more than just a Welfare Organisation; we're a family, a sanctuary, and a steadfast ally. In the quiet hours, when the world seems silent, our 24/7 Crisis Phone Line (0800 868 3132) flickers with life. It's a lifeline for those in distress, offering a sympathetic ear and immediate assistance. During the day, our Safe House stands as a refuge for women and children, providing a secure haven where they can find respite and recovery. But our support doesn't stop at the confines of our buildings. Through Kāinga Kōrero, we extend our reach into homes, communities, and marae, offering holistic support for whānau. Our Whānau Protect National Home Safety Service ensures homes are safe havens, installing security alarms that safeguard our community members. At He Wānanga Tāne Whakapiripiri, we provide a space where men can come together to overcome Domestic and Family Violence, Broken Relationships, and Addiction. Here, they find understanding, guidance, and the strength to rebuild their lives. Our Pātaka Kai at 66 Belmont Road, Paeroa, serves as a food bank for those in need, providing essential nourishment for body and soul. Advocacy is the heartbeat of our organisation. We stand with our community members, advocating on their behalf to ensure they receive the support they deserve. Together, we stand united, a community bonded by shared experiences, mutual respect, and a commitment to empowering each other. At Te Whariki Manawahine O Hauraki, we are not just a welfare organisation; we're your neighbour, your friend, your ally. We invite you to join our whānau, to be a part of something greater than yourself. Together, we can create a safer, more compassionate Waikato.
