Ngā piringa me ngā herenga / Relationships and contracts
Jasmine and her taitamaiti in a new home secured with the support of Manu Ora
The contracts, agreements and collaborative partnerships Te Piki Oranga holds with government and non-government organisations are key to achieving our kitenga and taukī whakatakatanga.
By working with other organisations we can take services and support deeper into our communities. For some organisations, having Te Piki Oranga as a partner or provider means whānau benefit more fully – we often support in ways that other providers cannot. Some whānau are referred to us. And some whānau we refer to hospital or specialist care, advocating for them and helping them navigate the system.
We describe our contracts and collaborative partnerships in greater detail in our annual reports.
