About us

Nāu te rourou, nāku te rourou, ka ora ai te iwi
With your food basket and my food basket the people will thrive
This whakatauki talks to the mission of this conference which is all about community collaboration and acknowledges that everybody has something to offer and by working together we can all flourish.
We aim to share and support initiatives that foster positive change in our communities. Particularly initiatives that empower wāhine, embrace diversity, promote healthy lifestyles, and advance woman, Pasifika, and Māori communities.
Our vision is to amplify the stories of our rural wāhine
through the power of storytelling.
