Episode Synopsis



In this inspiring episode, we kōrero with Kaye Maree Dunn, the co-founder of Āhau, a Whānau Data Platform designed to uplift whānau and iwi by preserving and securely sharing their information and histories. Kaye shares her whakaaro on the systemic challenges faced by Māori communities, particularly how tamariki are often streamed into labour-based jobs rather than being supported to pursue leadership roles and higher education.
We dive deep into Kaye’s passion for community-led initiatives and her belief that real, lasting change must come from within. She speaks about building platforms like Āhau to preserve mātauranga Māori and empower whānau with the tools to take on leadership roles. Kaye emphasises the importance of holistic and inclusive approaches to challenge existing norms and give Māori and Indigenous communities the power to shape their futures. Tune in to hear about her transformative mahi, her commitment to social impact, and her vision for a more inclusive Aotearoa.
