**Mo matou | About us**

Te Tuapapa Kura Kainga reflects the intention of 'the foundation for a treasured home'. The name comes from the Maori whakatauki (proverb) 'he kurakainga e hokia, he kuratangata e kore e hokia', - 'a treasured home will endure, not so a treasured person'. It carries with it a strong connection to our purpose: he kaingaora, he haporiora - thriving communities where everyone has a place to call home. The importance of ensuring the wellbeing of people within the home, and our connection with the land - acknowledges the generations of people who have always called this place 'home' - and affirms our commitment to delivering for future generations of New Zealanders.

**Nga painga | What we offer**
- Engaging employee-led people networks that celebrate diversity, provide safe spaces, and encourage thought-leadership
