A Community-Led Movement for Porirua
“Porirua: the best place to raise a whānau”
Who we are
Porirua is home to a resilient and diverse community. At Te
Wāhi Tiaki Tātou (TWTT), we believe that community well-being is achieved when everyone has access to what
they need to thrive.
We are a movement powered by the voices, strengths, and aspirations
of our people. By listening to our community and working
in partnership with iwi, grassroot organisations, funders, and government, we are transforming the way services support whānau.
