Āti Awa Toa Hauora Partnership Board ( ĀATHPB)
The mission of Āti Awa Toa Hauora Partnership Board (ĀATHPB) is to create an oranga ecosystem where our mokopuna can thrive. The stories of our people are helping to shape our priorities and our efforts to address the unmet needs of whānau Māori within the current health system and achieve their aspirations for change. Their experiences and insights are supported by health data and other indicators, which reveal significant and compounding inequities for Māori in our rohe.
Aligned with our moemoeā of Oranga Whenua, Oranga Wai, Oranga Whānau, our Board champions a broad, kaupapa Māori view of health that protects and empowers mana motuhake, is compassionate, and ensures fairness for all. While our focus is on oranga for whānau Māori, as mana whenua, we are committed to uplifting the wellbeing of all who reside in our rohe.
We represent the interests and aspirations of two iwi: Te Āti Awa and Ngāti Toa Rangatira, and three rūnanga: Ātiawa ki Whakarongotai, Te Rūnanganui o Te Āti Awa ki te Upoko o te Ika a Maui and Te Rūnanga o Toa Rangatira. Our rohe broadly covers Kapiti, Porirua, Te Awa Kairangi and Pōneke.
