Nurture the environment and give life to the people.  

Environmental based whangai training platforms create environmental resources while nurturing and upskilling our people. People become a vital component in the ecosystem and its sustainability. While restoring the environment, our unemployed create opportunities for future economies and create equity of opportunities.

Economic

 

Through support and training those the community cannot employ to create resources for the community that supports them, we build future economies and create a reserve bench of game ready employees. Welfare and Corrections budgets are transformed into an investment rather than a cost.

 

Public, Private and Philanthropic partnerships focus the economy on a quadruple bottom line reporting standard rather than purely financial.

Cultural

 

We focus on our unique culture to create a global point of difference. Using Kaupapa Maori intergenerational approach and the focus on sustainability of resources, Te Whangai seeks to bridge the divide between traditional cultures and the Westminster system to enable equity.

 

Whangai creates an alternative option to the Westminster welfare model that generates dependency. It Counters the negative aspects of welfare and colonisation to create equity for all our people to transition safely through life, training  and employment.
