Organisation Details

Ka Puta Ka Ora Emerge Aotearoa is a for-purpose, charitable organisation that supports the oranga (wellbeing) for tāngata whaiora and whānau. 

We support people from diverse communities across Aotearoa and from all walks of life through a broad range of health, housing, social, and wellbeing services. These include:

Established in 2015 and previously known as Emerge Aotearoa, our name ‘Ka Puta Ka Ora Emerge Aotearoa’ was gifted to us by Kaumātua Koro Rewi Rubal Rapana of Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāti Hauā in 2023. This change in name represents our strong ties to tangata whenua and our commitment to become a Tāngata Tiriti organisation.

Our name carries the same spirit as Tāwhiao’s tongikura: It is an invitation for people, whānau and their communities to come forth and thrive – ka puta ka ora.

Our name inspires our vision and promise to support oranga for Aotearoa – ‘Tautokohia te mana tāngata, kia puta kia ora’.

Our three Pou guide our mahi and are the lens through which we measure our success.

  • Māori succeeding as Māori
  • Lived experience and diversity are privileged
  • Thriving Pacific peoples

Our values are deeply embedded into the way we work and connect with each other.

  • Whakawhanaunga – Connecting with purpose
  • Ako – Walking and learning together
  • Manaaki – Engaging with respect
  • Whakamana – Acting with integrity

The people who work here come from the communities we serve and have a sense of belonging and confidence. We believe that a diverse and inclusive workplace fosters creativity, innovation, and success.
