Wahine Toa Charitable Trust

Hapai Taumaha Hapūtanga - Crisis Pregnancy Support is a charitable trust that was set up in Wellington and Lower Hutt in 2021 and our purpose is to help women who are facing an unexpected pregnancy.

Hapai Taumaha Hapūtanga - Crisis Pregnancy Support is a health professional-based service in the wider Wellington region in Aotearoa, New Zealand. We offer free, confidential, and both emotionally and practically grounded care for women who find themselves unexpectedly pregnant or need support in their pregnancies. Also, we offer support for pregnancy loss including abortion grief.

The essence of our name which was gifted to us by iwi, Hapai Taumaha Hapūtanga, resonates

deeply with our mission:

Hapai - to carry

Taumaha - to be heavy or burdened

Hapūtanga – pregnancy

We understand that at times, pregnancy can feel heavy or like a burden. Our aim is to share that load with women and help carry some of that weight, working hand in hand to help women navigate through what can be a stressful time.

As health professionals, we use our skills to partner with women and their whanau, assessing current challenges and helping to meet unmet needs. We empower, advocate and offer support to help in the areas that have been identified.
