Nā Puoro, ko taurikura / Music transforms us
The Raukatauri Music Therapy Trust was established in March 2004 by singer and songwriter Hinewehi Mohi, who named it after her daughter Hineraukatauri who has severe cerebral palsy. Hineraukatauri, and thousands of other New Zealanders, have found a way to express themselves through music therapy, at the Centre named after her.
“Raukatauri is a space where you can be who you are and there is no judgement involved. The therapists’ patience and loving approach is absolutely amazing and marvellous.”
Our monthly giving programme, ‘Koha for Raukatauri’, lets you provide life-changing music therapy for children experiencing long-term hospitalisations, adults with dementia, children impacted by trauma, those with developmental disabilities and many others.
