Te Kiwi Māia - The Courageous Kiwi Charitable Trust.
We are a charity which provides rehabilitation, recovery and respite to our people, who - as a result of their role in safeguarding and caring for New Zealanders - have physical or psychological injuries. We enable our people and their families to continue healthy, positive lives.
Our people will have have access to the support to succeed in their physical and mental wellness.
This will be achieved through the provision of facilities, equipment, services or assistance for the rehabilitation, recovery and care of such individuals, as well as their immediate families, who are in need.
Our aim is to establish a homestead and working farm designed and equipped to foster physical, psychological and emotional rehabilitation and recovery; somewhere for those who have committed to our country, and who have been injured through their work, to recuperate and refresh. This will be achieved via the provision of a supportive and inclusive environment, professional assistance, access to a variety of services, and opportunities to participate in activities that promote mental wellness; such as pottery, cooking or yoga classes, building tuition, sports and fitness, or assisting on the farm.
Ultimately, Te Kiwi Māia’s goal is to support and assist those whose role has been to safeguard and care for all New Zealanders, so they can continue healthy, positive lives.
Te Kiwi Māia’s Charitable Trust number is CC56958.

Wellness Weekend for Partners 13 January 2025
Back in November 2024 we had the honour of hosting a special programme for the partners of personnel affected by PTSD and trauma due to their line of duty. And wow - what an incredible group of wahine toa! 💖
There was so much emotion, vulnerability, and sharing among this group. Together, we discussed important topics around health and wellbeing, including self-care, trauma, and PTSD. The insights and learnings were invaluable, and it became even clearer how essential this programme is.
We are truly grateful that we took the leap to create something for these amazing individuals; it reinforced the need and purpose behind the initiative. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to funding the partners' participation this weekend. Your generous donations made all of this possible, and we couldn’t do the work we do without your support. 🙏
Thanks Naidene :-)
