OUR INSPIRATION
Inspired by healing, protection, and growth
The name Manuka comes from the Manuka tree in New Zealand, known for its healing and protective honey. For centuries, the Māori people have used the Manuka plant to heal, calm, and restore — and that meaning inspires our mission.
- Healing: A safe place to recover
- Protection: A nurturing environment
- Growth: Helping children build strength and resilience
