Kaupapa Awhi Whanau visit Christchurch

By / 29 March 2011

Kaupapa Awhi Whanau are a mixed discipline group working with the hahi (church) through Te Puni Kokiri to deliver respite and help with a strategic response, especially in Christchurch’s Eastern suburbs. They work very closely with service providers on the ground, and are both practical and strategic.

Their work has been very warmly received. Their first report went down very well, and many of the recommendations were acted upon by government. Their linkages with Te Hui Amorangi o te Upoko o te Ika, Te Hui Amorangi o te Tai Tokerau, and the Social Justice Commission, have proved really valuable and important to the roopu (group) and also those with whom they have been involved.

This is their report (click the link to download):

About us

This site is run by the Social Justice Commission of the Anglican Church.

We seek to nurture justice spirituality and imagination, and engage in advocacy in all areas of life, overcoming poverty and transforming violence.

We encourage people to think and live “justly”, and emphasise debate and action on local, national and global issues.

Although we are Anglican, our vision isn’t so much about being Anglican. It’s about living justly. Justice is about how you live your life, and being just where we are. Working together, we can all flourish.
