Paerangi digital resource
A new digital platform created by Māori organisations is helping to support Tamaki Makaurau’s more vulnerable whānau during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Paerangi is an online information and referral centre designed specifically for whānau hauā (whanau with impairments), nga marae and kaumātua. There is also a support/information phone line (0800 100 132).
It offers website, social media and telecommunications for COVID-19 official information and a directory of support which is simple, easy to find and whānau-relevant. This includes everything from referrals for health, housing and job loss advice to information around tikanga and tangihanga.
Considered the first of its kind in Aotearoa, Paerangi provides information in audio and text conversational English, Te Reo and NZ Sign Language. It has been created in collaboration with Te Roopu Waiora, Te Kōtahi ā Tāmaki and Te Ohonga and has support from across the public and private sector.
