Ways We Help
Meaningful Work
Our programmes have been designed to be culturally sensitive.
Toitu te Ao is in the business of changing and shaping lives. The work we do within our Organization is aimed at providing a holistic approach to solving some of Maori's biggest challenges whilst living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
We are by Māori living with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus for Maori living with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
We provide support and advocacy for Maori, Polynesian and indigenous people living with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Our doors are open to everyone who requires our support, we are a kaupapa driven organisation here to support you.
Our aim is to provide awareness and education which will effectively promote a wholistic wellbeing approach with a focus on de-stigmatisation through a cultural lens.
We have established programmes and prevention initiatives specific to Maori, and ultimately all indigenous.
