Our Vision
"Our vision is to enhance and support the overall health and wellbeing of whānau and individuals via a multi-faceted, whānau-ora approach that includes mental, physical, social, and cultural wellbeing"
This is a great place to add a tagline.
Tell customers more about you. Add a few words and a stunning pic to grab their attention and get them to click.
This space is ideal for writing a detailed description of your business and the types of services that you provide. Talk about your team and your areas of expertise.
Our aim is to make health, fitness, education, and wellbeing accessible directly into communities, especially those experiencing socio-economic challenges.
Holistic / Whānau-Ora Perspective
We see health not just as physical fitness, but encompassing mental, social, emotional, spiritual, and cultural dimensions. Our tools and programmes aim to support wellbeing holistically rather than focusing narrowly on disease or single risk factors
Culturally-grounded / Māori-led
Our design and delivery are rooted in Māori worldviews and kawa (cultural principles). This ensures that our health and education activities resonate with identity, culture, and Māori ways of being.
Accessibility & Equity
We work with communities that are under-served—places where people might not have easy access to gyms, health services, wellness supports or education. MEKE tries to “bring health and fitness to the people” rather than expecting people to come to clinics or fitness centres.
Self-assessment & goal setting
A big part of our health and education focus is enabling individuals and whānau to assess their own wellbeing (via tools like the Meke Meter) and then set goals, monitor themselves, and take ownership of change.
