Providing support and respite for First Responders and New Zealand Defence Force personnel.
Nationwide
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.

🚒 Meet Marty Jillings from Central Otago FENZ 🚒 24 October 2024
Marty is stepping up to raise awareness for mental health, sharing his own journey and showing the strength it takes to ask for help. In honour of the 48 incredible individuals who have attended our Te Kiwi Māia programmes, Marty will be carrying 500 grams of weight for 43kms, representing the load carried by each one of them.
Every step he takes reminds us of the weight our first responders and defence personnel carry, both physically and mentally. We are incredibly proud of Marty for not only being a part of this year’s Inter-Station Relations challenge but for using his platform to speak up about the importance of mental health.
Kia kaha, Marty! Let’s show him our support as he takes on this challenge 💪
