Thanks to the commitment and support from our team, whānau, community, Iwi – specifically Ngāti Pāoa, partners, funders, and our donors, E Tipu E Rea is able to provide much-needed support and assistance to over 300 whānau members per year. We need more community tautoko to continue building on the strengths of young whānau, and to challenge some of the unfair systems that discriminate against them. Our young parents, hapū māmā and their tamariki are the leaders of our future generations.
We welcome your tautoko to continue developing their leadership
I learned a lot about how my baby will grow in the next few months, I was surprised to learn about a baby’s emotions. I am also more confident that just because I am young does not mean I can’t be a really good parent. Both my baby and I have a good future. Being young and hapū does not mean the end of the world, it is actually just the beginning of a great future.

I learned that babies can connect with me before they are born, that was pretty cool. It is great to have support (without judgement) around me as I learn about being a dad. Its the judgement around that I think can make things harder for dads like me.
