PLACE-MAKING & COMMUNITY EMPOWERED PROJECTS
We believe strengthening the connection between people and the places they live in raises the spirits & mental health of communities which in turn contributes to growing a more thriving community. We create, support, partner and provide the vehicle required for community led projects (including our own) to thrive & grow. Some of our current projects include:

The Otara Kai Hub Village is a social eco sustainable space focused on enabling families experiencing food insecurity to have dignified access to affordable nutritious food in their neighbourhood. It also recognizes that the 'Social' is a vital part of the change process and that food is a powerful connector and catalyst to expanding wider social, economic and cultural opportunities for individuals, families and communities.
