We are a collective of partners in the Maungakiekie-Tamaki Community who want to create or support Waste Based Social Enterprise Opportunities. How we came to be…
We came together in 2016 to learn about each other, develop a shared understanding about what work we would like to become involved in and brainstorm opportunities for us to develop. We also talked about how we want youth to benefit from these new enterprises. Tāmaki WRAP is leading this work and acting as the current umbrella for the development of this partnership. In early 2017, Tara Moala and Nikki Korte from Rākau Tautoko joined the partnership to help with coordination and facilitation of this project. Rākau Tautoko is a collective of community development practitioners who work alongside community to build empowerment and engagement. Tara has been a Wrapper since the beginning of Tāmaki WRAP and a strong advocate for growing local solutions to waste. What’s next…
As a collective, have identified that having shared working spaces is the first priority to make this happen. We want to establish a shared retail space, industrial space and truck this year, in 2017.
