Whanāu Ora Programme

Whānau Ora is a holistic, family-centred approach that recognises the strength and resilience within the whānau. Instead of focusing on individuals, it looks at the collective hopes and needs of the family, empowering them to define their own wellbeing, set goals, and make decisions that reflect their culture and values. Wrap-around support helps whānau overcome barriers, build skills, and move forward together with confidence.

Kāinga Pasifika is a Pasifika-led service in Hawke’s Bay, working by Pasifika, for Pasifika. Our Whānau Ora programme is grounded in Pacific values, honouring identity, language, faith, belonging, and strong family and community connections. We walk alongside whānau with respect and care, supporting them to grow their strengths, celebrate their culture, and easily access the services they need. Through advocacy, collaboration, and culturally informed support, we uplift Pasifika families to live well and flourish in all areas of life.

Our mission is for every Pasifika whānau to feel seen, valued, and empowered to thrive in their own way.
