Our Kaupapa

At Te Waipuna Puawai, our kaupapa is to walk alongside whānau with aroha, dignity, and practical support that strengthens wellbeing and connection.

Through Community Education, our Rānui Kai Hub, our partnership with Project Twin Streams in the environment, and Whānau Ora support through our kaiwhiriwhiri, we respond to the aspirations, and needs of our community. It's whānau-centred mahi, to help create pathways for learning and long-term wellbeing. Guided by Mercy values of respect, compassion, justice, hospitality, and mutual enhancement, we are committed to community-led mahi that supports whānau and helps communities thrive.

Our kaupapa is rooted in whānau. We believe lasting change in our community starts with people and grows through connection and care.
