After attending the Tapuhi Angitu Māori Nursing Leadership Program in 2018, Māori lived experience leader and advocate Kerri Butler began to mobilize these hopes and aspirations to grow the potential and leadership qualities of Māori with lived experience - Tino rangatiratanga.
From October 2018 to June 2019, we listened to the voice of whānau, who essentially inspired the launch of the Mā Purapura Mai programme.
Three wananga were facilitated with these extraordinary people who dedicated their time and energy to develop the Mā Purapura Mai program. During these wānanga, four values - Kaitiakitanga, Wairuatanga, Mana, and Whanaungatanga - were identified that uphold peer values and now underpins the Mā Purapura Mai model.
Kaumatua, Witi Ashby gifted the name Mā Purapura Mai expressing the meaning as: “Brightness of oneself or light, or glowing of energy, and using it as a positive statement for oneself, a thing or guiding someone to something”
