Kura Cares Charity

Kura Cares Charity Kura Cares was built on a simple belief: when whānau are supported properly, lives can change. For us, this mahi has never been just about running programmes.

It is about creating real pathways for whānau to grow in confidence, strengthen their wellbeing

Kura Cares is out here swinging above its weight and delivering. While others bask in funding, we’ve built AI that transforms lives: predicting crises, guiding whānau through their journey, and even helping them nail job interviews all with minimum government dollars!

It’s disappointing that impact, evidence and data isn’t always what gets funded but we’ll keep innovating. And to our day-one funders: thank you for believing in us, imperfections and all we always deliver!

🔥 FEEDBACK LIKE THIS IS WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO 🔥

A huge thank you to Korowai Manaaki for their kind words following their first Sports Academy offsite session at Kura cares + OTB Health Club🩷

To receive feedback like this means so much to our team. It’s a reflection of the environment we’ve worked hard to create one where rangatahi feel welcomed, challenged, supported, and inspired to grow.

Seeing young people step outside their comfort zones, experience something new like HYROX training, and then take those lessons back into their own communities is exactly what partnership and positive youth development is all about.

Special shoutout to and our admin team for continuing to show up with energy, passion, and genuine care for every young person who walks through our doors.

This is just the beginning. Together, we’re creating pathways, building confidence, and giving our rangatahi opportunities to thrive.

Ngā mihi Korowai Manaaki for trusting us with your young people. We can’t wait for the next visit! 💙

We love to see how passionate our Wahine are to develop their skills when it comes to their careers. Today we explored the scenario of a job interview. Preparing our girls with the confidence to answer questions about themselves and why they would be a perfect candidate for the job. Well done girls 🙌🏾

Today was one of those pinch-me moments. Seeing Kura Cares Charity officially recognised as a registered Private Training Establishment (PTE) by NZQA, and having that acknowledged by the Deputy Chief Executive of NZQA, was more than just a milestone, it was confirmation that the vision we have carried for years is starting to come to life.

Our vision has always been bigger than programmes. It has always been about creating real pathways for our rangatahi helping them build confidence, gain meaningful skills, earn credits, and move into employment, training, or further education with purpose and pride.

We want to see our young people walk into rooms knowing who they are, where they come from, and what they are capable of. We want to help them gain qualifications in a way that makes sense to them, through kaupapa that is culturally grounded, practical, and connected to real-life outcomes.

But I’ll be honest, this journey hasn’t been easy.

Recently, we received disappointing news that a potential contract, which could have provided long-term sustainability for our organisation, was declined. What hurt the most was knowing how much work we have done behind the scenes, the massive operational changes, the governance improvements, the systems, the accountability, the compliance, and now achieving official PTE registration.

So while that door may have closed, it has only made us stronger. Funding is tight locally, and that is the reality many grassroots organisations are facing.

But we are not stopping. We are now looking offshore, building new relationships, exploring new opportunities, and continuing to position Kura Cares Charity and our PTE for long-term impact.

What doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.

This recognition is proof that the work is real, the vision is real, and the future is bigger than any setback.

For our rangatahi, for our whānau, and for the generations coming after us — we keep going.

We want to send a heartfelt thank you to the Manurewa Local Board for seeing the need, the vision, and the potential in this kaupapa.

At a time when funding cuts are being felt across national and local sectors, support like this means more than ever. Thank you for trusting Kura Cares Charity and believing in the mahi we do with our whānau, our rangatahi, and our community.

When many look away from the real challenges our people face, your support helps us keep showing up, keep providing the results, and keep creating pathways of hope, resilience, and opportunity.

Ngā mihi nui, Manurewa Local Board. Your investment is making a real difference🙏🏽 ✨
