Step 3: Drop it in (with the special code word), and continue your day being awesome.

Who We Help
The tāne we support have experienced adversity and challenges in their lives. Many of them attend courses at He Waka Tapu that include themes such as stopping violence in relationships, building confidence and self-esteem, stopping smoking, alcohol and drug education, health and fitness, and developing social support.
Services are delivered using a kaupapa Māori framework encompassing Tinana (physical wellbeing), Wairua (spiritual wellbeing), Hinengaro (mental wellbeing), and Whānau (family wellbeing).

Why We Help
The Brotherhood supports tāne so they can participate meaningfully in their community. Tāne can feel pride in their appearance, and have resources to attend courses, training, and job interviews, thanks to your donations. It also demonstrates to tāne that there is a community that cares about them and wants them to succeed. This is empowering. Kindness prevents prejudice, and provides a platform for people to learn about others.

Having an essential item gifted to me, meant I could continue my journey of balancing my Whare Tapa Wha by getting out in the community and completing programmes to remain abstinent.
