Ko wai tatou
Who we are
Te Tautoko Ora has been going since 2018. Our founding trustees combined their diverse range of skills to support others to develop similar or other skills for themselves but ultimately for their communities too.
Our trustees know and believe that training programmes and small courses are an ideal vehicle for growing and developing marginalised people with limited education and skills such as Maori, ethnic refugees, wahine, rangatahi (young people) and kaumatua (senior citizens). This belief hasn’t changed and is still the way Te Tautoko Ora will deliver its core services.

Our Leadership
All of our trustees bring a diverse wealth of knowledge and experience to Te Tautoko Ora. It’s from the halls of learning of Victoria and Massey Universities to the machinery and cogs of factory floors to the churning wheels of trucks and road making machinery to the wind swept valleys and hills of pine trees and vineyards, combined with a broad spectrum of life mastery skills and tribal interconnectedness spanning the breadth of Aotearoa. Our Trustee Komiti and their wide network of colleagues and former workers is uniquely qualified to churn out knowledge learning opportunities in Trades and Training; TOI Maori crafts; Cancer Awareness education; Maori Trades and Training; COVID support deliveries and much much more on the horizon.
