He Rau Aroha is a rōpū of Māori consultants, scientists, and engineers from across the private infrastructure sector. United by a shared commitment to give back to Māori communities, we formed in response to Cyclone Gabrielle. During this event, we saw the urgent need for culturally competent infrastructure professionals at the interface — to walk alongside service providers and help forge meaningful pathways with whānau, hapū, and iwi.
