Poutiria te Aroha offers parenting programmes that resonate with whānau Māori. The programmes offered by Poutiria te Aroha draw on Māori cultural values and tikanga for raising tamariki, along with the traditions of nonviolence, evident in the philosophy of peaceful resistance in Aotearoa (eg Parihaka) and overseas.

For this website we incorporated key elements such as pou designs, and the font and colour palette of Poutiria te Aroha, to produce a unified and connected feel, that would resonate with whānau Māori. A video that shines a light on the positive impacts being created through these programmes was also created. Members-only pages have also been developed for kaiako to access relevant teaching resources.

A key focus for the website was to enable people to take action via signing petitions, joining social media communities, registering for e-news and supporting through donations and merchandise purchases.
