Kirikiriroa Family Services Trust (KFST) has been serving whānau across the Waikato and Waipa regions since 1999. Founded through a tripartite partnership between Maatua Whāngai o Kirikiriroa, Specialist Education Services, and Te Kohao Health, KFST delivers free, home-based support services guided by the vision Tamariki Tū Tamariki Ora — that children stand strong and live well. Services include early intervention through Family Start, transitional housing, early childhood education support, and youth and whānau wellbeing programmes. Rooted in a belief that thriving tamariki strengthen whānau and communities, KFST walks alongside families with wrap-around, culturally grounded care that places children at the centre.
