Who we are
Hauora mō ngā Tāngata Katoa is a kaupapa Māori charitable trust based in South Auckland. We exist to create spaces where tamariki and rangatahi who are neurodiverse, at risk of disengagement, or needing positive guidance can grow in confidence, emotional strength, and connection to culture and community.
We are more than a programme — we are a movement for change.

So how do we work with it?
To use movement, mindset, and connection to build sustainable wellbeing habits that last far beyond the walls of a classroom or gym.
Our Mission
• Local and long‑term: We commit to schools and partners over years, not weeks.
• Culturally grounded: Guided by Te Whare Tapa Whā, tikanga, and values such as manaakitanga, whanaungatanga, and tiakitanga.
• SHOT method: Small steps, consistent practice, and coach support — behaviour change that lasts.
• Inclusive by design: Neurodiverse, at‑risk, and underserved communities are actively welcomed and supported.
• Evidence‑informed: We integrate psychology, behaviour science, and strength‑based coaching.
We blend Māori models of wellbeing with practical coaching so people can build everyday habits that last. Our SHOT (Sustainable Habits Over Time) approach supports movement, mindset and rewiring unhelpful patterns — step by step, with community support and real-world accountability.
