Kowhai Tamaraki Trust was founded on the belief that change starts at home. The journey began with running our Family Start program, a home visiting program focused on improving the health, growth, learning, safety, and environment of children. The program was designed to address the intergenerational cycle of disadvantage and support families in their journey to success.
Our focus has since expanded to the larger community, and we are now working towards creating a healthy, connected community where families feel a sense of belonging and can invest and give back. We believe that by focusing on better education and working together as a community, we can make a real difference and interrupt the intergenerational cycle of disadvantage.
