Nau mai, haere mai ki Ngā Pekanga
Welcome to Ngā Pekanga Catholic Māori Charitable Trust – a place where faith, hope, and aroha guide everything we do.
Rooted in our Māori and Catholic heritage, we are committed to uplifting our kaumātua, whānau, and community through manaakitanga, whakawhanaungatanga, and a deep commitment to wellbeing.
Our Legacy
For more than 75 years, Ngā Pekanga has stood as a cornerstone of the Waitara community, blending Māori principles with Catholic values to nurture spiritual, cultural, and social wellbeing.
From our historic mission station to today's kaupapa, our purpose has remained the same:
to serve our people with aroha, dignity, and unity.
The Invitation is.....
Our kaumātua are the keepers of knowledge, whakapapa, and tradition. Wisdom Village honours them by creating a safe, warm, and culturally rich papakāinga where they can thrive.
We invite you to join with us to help make this vision a reality. Every contribution brings us closer to building a place where wellbeing, whanaungatanga, and aroha are woven into daily life.
Koha in our cultural terms has no boundaries/limitations and it is within this context that we accept whatever your Koha o Aroha is.
