About Us :: Te Awa o Te Ora Trust

The logo of Te Awa o Te Ora Trust reflects the wairua, vision and aspirations of Te Awa o Te Ora. The cyan colour symbolizes water and its correlation to the ebb and flow of the river. The logo incorporates the elements of whanau and earth via the stylized waves and koru, which are proudly supported and carried on the back of the manaia figure which symbolically protects all that Te Awa o Te Ora Trust believes and stands for. The three prongs represent birth, life and death and also reflect the ever changing river of life.
