Tō mātou orokohanga | Where we’ve come from
Hui E! Community Aotearoa’s journey started in 2014 when two organisations, Association of Non-Governmental Organisations of Aotearoa (ANGOA) and Social Development Partners (previously NZ Federation of Voluntary Welfare Organisations), merged to form Hui E!
ANGOA was established in 1993 a forum for independent, non-profit making, voluntary organisations (NGOs). They saw NGOs as a vital part of international and national efforts to educate, raise awareness and address global environmental and social crises that were of international and national concern. ANGOA fulfilled its role by recognising the provisions of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and acknowledging that while te tino rangatiratanga is vested in tangata whenua, te kawanatanga is to be shared between both tangata whenua and tau iwi. Officers included Marion Blake, Tony Mayow, Julie Haggie, Peter Isaacs, Vanisa Dhiru and Nadia Abu Shanab.
Social Development Partners was initially established in 1969 as the New Zealand Federation of Voluntary Welfare Organisations (NZFVWO). As a network of social service organisations, their objective was to advocate, inform and act as an inspiration for the welfare of voluntary organisations in New Zealand. The vision of the NZFVWO was to build a developed and unbiased society through a viable welfare for the voluntary sector. Officers included Simon Cayley, Sonya Rimene, Gillian Peacock, Moira Underdown, Ric Odom and Niamh Lawless.
Both organisations had a long history of tautoko the community sector.
