Welcome
He Waka Tapu was established in 1996 to fill a gap in the local community of Christchurch around violence by Maori men against women and children. After approaching Mana whenua for their support He Waka Tapu started providing men's programme for Community Probation Services, Family Court, Child Youth and Family Services and men released from local prisons needing to address violent behaviour against women.
Over the 14 years we have become a health and social services provider for Maori whanau covering a wide range of services.
