A charism is a way of seeing, being and doing.
The Challenge 2000 charism seeks to make the Gospel real through:
We believe that ‘love works’. We strive to respond positively, go the extra mile, and relate to those in need as more than just clients. Challenge 2000 is a whānau committed to bringing people together and helping each other grow. We believe that change is possible and do what we can to grow hope.
Challenge 2000’s commitment to bi-culturalism is informed by kaupapa and tīkanga Māori. Specifically, our work is guided by four tīkanga that complement our charism:
Āhurutanga: creating a safe and nurturing space for whānau and young people
Kaitiakitanga: guarding and enhancing people’s mana, beliefs, hopes, and dreams
Whānaungatanga: fostering authentic relationships with whānau and young people grounded in manaakitanga
Wairuatanga: honouring others’ whakapapa, world-views and belief systems, including the unseen and unspoken energies between those past and present
