Run by a charitable trust, the Downie Stewart Foundation, we have been in existence since 1987 when it was set up by a local Judge and someone who had been through the legal system. Those who come to the house have multiple difficulties - substance abuse, poor relationships, are victims or perpetrators of violence, have poor work skills, and difficulties in setting and achieving goals. We have had residents achieve apprenticeships, move to tertiary study and start their own businesses after completing the programme. For more details check out our website: www.moanahouse.org.nz
