please get in touch if you would like to find out more information.

‘Manawa Rahi’ is a community based initiative (an incorporated trust approved by the New Zealand Charities Commission). Manawa Rahi partners with local school communities to help support the education and development of young people in isolated rural parts of Aotearoa. Through developing authentic relationships with community leaders and young people, they aim to be responsive to the needs that exist in these communities and to address the barriers to education in the most locally appropriate and sustainable way. Local kaumātua gifted the name Manawa Rahi, which speaks to the perseverance and determination of communities, their young people, and the schools that support them.
