Kia ora and welcome to TU KAHA FOUNDATION
We are a trust dedicated to improving the prospects of our children through enhanced experiences, role modelling and carefully crafted programmes designed to bring strong value systems to the fore to influence their future.
Our founding service is the Tu Kaha Values Programme which is built from three core components. A world class engagement tool, a well- respected brand partner and an evidence based educational curriculum that connects the value system to the national school curriculum.
At the same time the entire programme needs to maintain unimpeachable credibility with all stakeholders including partners, parents, teachers, sponsors and most of all, our babies. We will achieve this through strong planning alongside a relentless and ongoing pursuit of quality.
We are proud to be partnered with NBA superstar Steven Adams through the Sports Pathways Trust bringing a down to earth attitude alongside a huge work ethic and a genuine truth to self. Steven represents all we encourage in young kiwis – be proud of yourself, work hard for your dreams and never give up!
