**To mātou aronga - What we do for Aotearoa New Zealand**

The Ministry of Social Development is a people-centred organisation. We're in communities across the motu, working with partners to help New Zealanders be safe, strong and independent. We develop social policy and provide advice to government and work with and help fund providers in the community. We also deliver social services and assistance, including income, employment and housing support, to people of all ages, families, whānau and communities.

As a Te Tiriti o Waitangi partner we work towards supporting and enabling Māori, whānau, hapū, Iwi and communities to realise their own potential and aspirations. We aim to acknowledge and be guided by Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and to pursue the following values in our work:
Manaaki - We care about the wellbeing and success of people Mahi tahi - We work together, making a difference for communities
Whānau - We are inclusive and build a sense of belonging and place
Tika me te pono - We do the right thing with integrity
