Our Stories & Kōrero

17,000 tamariki with a parent in prison face invisible barriers. By understanding these barriers, we can create whānau-centred solutions.

We believe every child has the right to be heard. Discover why the Voice of the Child is at the centre of everything that we do.

Here’s what Christmas means to our dedicated social work team and how, with your help, they’re creating lasting impact during the holidays.

At Pillars Ka Pou Whakahou, we believe that every child should feel the joy, excitement, and love that make the holidays special.
