Mō Mātou - About Us
Around the region, many iwi providers have stood up to provide a COVID-19 response with support from government agencies and District Health Boards. Atiawa ki Whakarongotai has also embraced the opportunity to provide a mana whenua outreach service delivered in partnership with Hora Te Pai Health Services, called Manaaki Kapiti.
Manaaki Kapiti has been operating since December 2021 as a response service for COVID-19 positive cases, to meet whānau health and welfare needs while they are in isolation, either at home or in a Managed or Supported I.Q facility. While this service is iwi-led, it is available to everyone who lives within the Ātiawa ki Whakarongotai boundaries (Paekākāriki to Peka Peka).
