The Kaupapa Māori Community for Wāhine Māori Business Owners
Strategy, support, and whanaungatanga to grow yourself and your pakihi.
Proudly supporting wāhine Māori business owners in partnership with:
You're building something that matters.
A pakihi that creates impact. That aligns with your values. That serves your community while sustaining your whānau.
But navigating mainstream business systems while staying grounded in te ao Māori? That's the challenge. And doing it as wāhine Māori - holding the unique space of being both wāhine and Māori in business - adds another layer.
You need strategy that actually works for your reality. Accountability from people who get it. And a space where you don't have to choose between cultural integrity and business growth.
That's what we've built here.
Te Kāinga Wāhine is more than a Māori business network - it's a space built specifically for wāhine Māori business owners. You'll get strategic support, accountability, and community from wāhine who understand the journey you’re on.
