Introduction
Kia ora, I thought it would be a good opportunity to introduce our organisation to those who haven't heard of us or used our services before. We are Te Hā o Hine-ahu-one - The Palmerston North Women's Health Collective. Our vision, moemoeā: a future where every woman/wahine understands, cares for, and is able to heal her body, mind, spirit, whānau, community and te taiao the natural environment. Our mission, te matawhānui: to empower wāhine/women and their whānau to have more control over their health and fertility.
We believe that with adequate support and information all wāhine/women are capable of making their own decisions about their bodies, and have that right. We strive for social justice, cultural safety and respect for diversity in the broadest sense. We are committed to providing a free service and helping wāhine/women and their whānau to access other free and lower cost services.
How we are Funded
Ongoing funding is paramount to our continued service.
Te Hā o Hine-ahu-one Palmerston North Women’s Health Collective Inc. is a registered charity (no: CC24790). As a non-profit organisation we rely solely on funding and donations to allow us to provide services to women in need.You may have heard that after many years we are looking for alternative funding as the MDHB has terminated our women's health contract. This impending loss of funding will significantly impact the women in our community who use our services. We have an inter-generational reach with women, their children and often their grandchildren. WE are looking at all of our options in this respect. One option we are exploring is Give a little, the money raised will be used for operational expenses to keep our service running. I have attached the links relevant to our news :) Thank you and we look forward to seeing you in our centre soon!
And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...
A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.
The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.
The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'
Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
