Kapiti
Birthright Kapiti supports one parent families on the Kapiti Coast (Paraparaumu to Waikanae) whose youngest child is under 16 years and who choose to be part of our services. We have fieldworkers who work with families in a professional and holistic manner.
We embrace the community we live in and believe that it takes a village to raise a child. We come from a hand up rather than a hand out approach. We like to give our families the tools to enable them to seek out resources in the future. We will walk alongside you during this journey. We aim to have those who are part of our village to be happy, safe secure and resilient people.
Our opening hours are Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm
