About Familial Whānau
He tūru rākau a Whānau i hangaia hei whakamahi mā ngā tamariki me ngā pakeke. Ko tētahi nekehanga ngāwari ka huri i te tūru ka huri hoki hei āhua tuarua. Nā reira, kotahi noa te taonga whare e mahi ana mō ngā roopu pakeke e rua, e tiaki ana i te wāhi me te whakaiti i te rahinga o ngā rawa e tika ana. I whakapaipaitia te āhua matua me ngā koki o te tūru kia mau tonu ai te noho hei mea haumaru, hei mea whai take hoki mō te tinana. E urupare ana a Whānau ki ngā wāhi noho iti o ngā tāone kikī tangata, i reira e whai hua ai ngā taonga whare whai take maha. E toha ana te hoahoa i waenga i te āhua me te mahi.

- Project Duration
- The project was began and completed in April 2022 in Tehran, Iran.
- Operation Flow
