Para Kore

Para Kore Marae is a kaupapa Māori charitable trust with a vision of Oranga Taiao, Oranga Marae, and Oranga Whānau. We educate and advocate from a Māori worldview for zero-carbon, zero-waste whānau, hapū, iwi, and hapori Māori.

With kaimahi and partnerships throughout the motu Para Kore supports resilience within Māori communities through mātauranga Māori behaviour change programmes and services. Para Kore provides programmes, wānanga, support, mentoring, resources, and reusable products to marae, whānau, hapū, iwi, groups, entities, and hapori throughout Aotearoa.

Additionally, specialist kaimahi provide advocacy, advisory, and consultancy services to commercial and public sector clients. The work of Para Kore contributes to building a circular economy, soil and kai sovereignty and supporting climate justice and action.

The Para Kore whānau are passionate about and committed to collective action for a zero-carbon, zero-waste Aotearoa New Zealand that enables mana Māori motuhake and regenerates Ranginui and Papatūānuku.
