Te Whānau o Waipareira
Te Whānau o Waipareira has a rich history documented over five generations of Urban Māori Whānau and counting. Acknowledging our history, community and whānau who have been critical in the establishment and growth of Whānau Waipareira keeps us on track as we progress into the future.
Wai-Research, established in 2014, is the next step on our Future Makers pathway for long-term impact and sustainable change producing qualitative and quantitative evidence and experience based publications from the heart of the community we serve.
With the launch of our research journal Te Kura Nui o Waipareira, we are now producing a regular publication combining academic writing, kaimahi/staff reflections and learnings and whānau voices into one journal reflecting our community.
Stay tuned as we continue to update progress along the way.
