Te Awhi Rito Trust Ōtaki

Te Awhi Rito Trust Ōtaki Nurturing our tamariki and their whānau in Otaki, through providing a safe, comfortable, and supportive space.

Te Awhi Rito Trust is a response by the local Anglican and Presbyterian Churches in Ōtaki to see our tamariki thriving. The name Te Awhi Rito comes from the harakeke or flax plant. The ‘Rito’ is the young shoot at the centre of the plant. ‘Awhi Rito’ are the strong, mature leaves that stand straight and tall to surround, protect and nurture the Rito. Outside Te Awhi Rito are the ‘Tupuna’ or older

leaves that bend towards the ground. These support the entire harakeke bush and eventually become part of the fertile ground beneath. Like the harakeke we will stand with and for our tamariki to ensure they thrive and reach maturity. Te Awhi Rito Trust is a response by the local Anglican and Presbyterian Churches in Ōtaki to see our children thriving.
