Community development is not an overnight happening. It takes years and years of consistently working to make a difference in our community.

Our statement has always been:
“People 1st, People 2nd and People 3rd” with all our services aimed at strengthening, empowering and embracing our very diverse communities.

We have been very fortunate to have our efforts recognised at both a local and national level.

Matthew 7:16
“By their fruit you will recognise them”

We believe the fruit of our ministry is evident because of God’s hand upon our lives and the love He continues to pour out upon us.

Jesus is the reason for the Ezekiel 33 season and all that we do and achieve is for His Glory, His purpose and His call upon our lives.

Taiawa & Stephanie Harawira have received both local and national recognition for their work in the community.

Including a television documentary on Taiawa’s life transformed from crime to community hero.
