Mana Tāhuna

Mana Tāhuna Charitable Trust is a kaupapa Māori organisation committed to positive social, cultural and environmental development for our community. Mana Tāhuna Charitable Trust was born from a seed planted by Tāhuna Māori for the past several decades. That seed was hope, want and need for a kaupapa Māori organisation that allowed whānau the opportunity to connect, grow, be healthy and thrive as Māori in Tāhuna - Queenstown. Established in 2020, the covid-19 pandemic was the call to action that saw that seed grow into the Mana Tāhuna Charitable Trust korowai of support and 28 passionate kaimahi we see and operate today. We engage with over 250 whānau per month across our services whilst also restoring over 10,000 hectares of freshwater catchment in the Whakatipu.
