Tahia Te Marae

Huria Marae is a member of the Huria Trust Localised Commissioning Agency Kaupapa – Tahia te Marae. This is a service that focuses on working alongside whānau and hapū to empower them toward achieving their dreams, goals, and aspirations.

Our mission is simple: to ensure that whānau and hapū are at the center and in control of their own journey towards success. We believe that by nurturing individual and shared strengths and capabilities, we can bring whānau closer to achieving their aspirations and goals.

How does it work?

At Tahia Te Marae, we recognise the collective strength and capability whānau posess to enhance various aspects of their lives. 

Our Kaihono (connector) is committed to helping whānau do just this. They’re here to listen, understand, and guide whānau toward services and support that match their goals. They act as a crucial link, connecting whānau with the resources needed to achieve their dreams.

What does this look like?

Tahia Te Marae offers personalised one-on-one support to whānau, assisting them in reaching their goals and aspirations. Additionally, Tahia Te Marae also facilitates a range of group workshops and wānanga to better support the learning, growth, and cultural development of our whanau and hapu.

Tahia Te Marae Testimonials

"Through Tahia Te Marae, I saw an incredible opportunity to gain support for both my business and personal aspirations. After meeting with my kaihono, I can proudly say that I now run a successful and fully operational e-commerce cake and catering business. Without the guidance of my kaihono, the backing of my hapū, and the support from the wider network, I wouldn’t have had the confidence to turn my dream into reality."
Tahia Te Marae Client
"Tahia Te Marae helped my whānau and I set goals and stood by us as we achieved them. As a Tahia Te Marae Client, I have attended 'Sorted Kāinga Ora', Healthy Home Wānanga and the Kanorau Digital Programme. All of these wānanga have been beneficial to our whānau. The Mātauranga and Information we received is helping us move forward together"
Tahia Te Marae Client
"I have been a client of Tahia Te Marae for four years and in that time, they have helped me tremendously! I am currently writing this testimony on my rorohiko which I received from Tahia Te Marae, they even sourced me the interenet connection so that I wouldn't have to worry about paying for the connection. Even during Covid, they assisted me with Grocery Hampers, Petrol Vouchers and endless medical visits in the way of Hearing Checks, Mirimiri etc. I suffered from a Stroke on October 3rd, 2021. At the time of my stroke, I was fully employed, the kaihono at that time were instrumental in getting me on a Winz Benefit and sorting through my bills and loans to take some of the hardships off me during that time. Tahia Te Marae has also helped me with my short, medium and long term goal setting, I have a few goals to settle but none the less I have goals. So Tahia Te Marae for me, has been an absolute God send that is in my everyday life"
