Working with Allies

A kaupapa Māori HIV support, advocacy and health promotion organisation has been missing for a long time in Aotearoa. It has been incredibly significant to have Milly and the Toitu te Ao team fill this huge need and to watch the progression of the organisation from its fledgling start to now being the most significant voice for Māori in the HIV sector. This has largely been due to the leadership of Milly Stewart, who as the Pou Tāhuhu of Toitu te Ao, has ensured the organisations position in the community.
Positive Women Inc has worked in collaboration with Toitu te Ao on a number of projects over the past 2 years. For me personally and for Positive Women Inc, it has been a powerful and enriching learning process and a testament to how working in partnership with Māori results in programmes, services and resources grounded in Māori tikanga, ultimately work for everyone.
Kia kaha Toitu te Ao. We look forward to further building on our relationship and know you will do great things for Māori living with HIV in Aotearoa.
