Ko wai Mātou | Our People

Manawa Rahi is led by a diverse group with strong connections to some of Aotearoa’s most isolated communities. Our team includes people from all walks of life and communities throughout Aotearoa, educators, builders, lawyers, architects, business owners, policy makers, marketers, youth workers, and strategic professionals, all united by a common purpose: to reduce educational inequality and expand opportunity for rangatahi across Aotearoa.

We are guided by our Kahui Kaiārahi, respected community leaders from some of Aotearoa’s most isolated communities. These pakeke provide advice, challenge our thinking, and ground our kaupapa in strong community voice, leadership, and direction.
