"We believe this tool assists health professionals to help whānau Māori and others to successfully breast feed for longer. As an indigenous and distinctly Māori tool it was the right and appropriate stand for us. We see Amy as a wahine toa and wanted to support her in the continuing development of this resource. "
Selah Hart, CEO Hāpai Te Hauora
"It's about reclaiming that knowledge space and giving it back to whānau and their hands and empowering them. The mahi that has gone into it has been inspired by real women and real whānau on a grassroots level. For mums who are new to breastfeeding, we want to break down the barriers as much as possible."
Amy Wray, Māmā Aroha
