About Us
Nga Manganui o Te Hapori - Many Streams of Our Community Trust ( I AM Māngere & I AM Ōtāhuhu)
As local community members, we see gaps and opportunities to improve lives. In 2020, we formalized as Many Streams of Our Community Trust – Ngā Manganui o Te Hapori, which supports I AM Māngere and I AM Ōtāhuhu. Created by locals for locals, our goal is to connect community members and contributors, fostering engagement, skill development, access to services, and collaboration to help everyone in Māngere-Ōtāhuhu thrive.
