The Birth of Hinemoana
Named after the Māori guardian of the ocean, Hinemoana symbolizes the vast, nurturing force that connects distant shores—just as we connect people from diverse backgrounds.
Our trust was born from a simple observation: immigrant women arriving in Auckland often faced isolation, language barriers, and limited access to resources. A small group of passionate individuals came together with a dream—to create a safe harbor where every newcomer could find support, friendship, and opportunity.
What began as informal gatherings in living rooms has grown into a comprehensive organization serving hundreds of community members. Today, we extend our embrace to the elderly, the homeless, and anyone seeking connection in our great city.
