Find your light. Stand in your power.
The Aunties recognise, acknowledge, and nurture the power we all have within. The Aunties whānau are a grouping of indigenous women who are powerful and extraordinary in their survival. As an organisation, it is our job to ensure they have the practical resources they need so that they can focus on healing, and remind them of how powerful they are, with every interaction, and at every turn.
Donate
The generosity of many supporters across Aotearoa means we pass on most of the funds raised directly to the women. When people are healing, they deserve the very best. The Aunties ensures the women have the space to heal without a whole lot of worries on their plate.

Our whānau
The Aunties whānau is made of those who give and receive
-
I'm not in a position to offer regular financial assistance, but I'm supportive of the way The Aunties operates, in that they don't expect their women to be grateful for other people's rubbish.
-
Because of The Aunties my whole family eats meals every day of the week, even in holidays when there are no school lunches.
-
I have had space to learn and deal with trauma, have the time, support and energy to work through trauma even while it is ongoing, even develop and restore values for our family and model these.
HER SAY
Jackie Clark and The Aunties
13 of the women from The Aunties whānau tell their story, in their own words. This book is an opportunity for society to understand the real people behind the statistics. But more importantly it is an opportunity to help the women reclaim their stories and stand in their power.
