Rourou Kai Ora
Our Mission:
Using food as healthcare, while mentoring rangatahi to learn about cooking and eating healthy food, and about their power to make a difference in their community.
Rourou Kai Ora is a charity based at Newlands College in Wellington. Teen chefs prepare wholefood, plant-based meals for people living with health conditions and nutritional needs, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and other nutritionally sensitive medical conditions.
Local rangatahi volunteer alongside experienced adults to cook for members of their community. Since starting, they have delivered more than 2,500 meals.
