Kia Manawanui Trust – The Heart of Aotearoa

A sister charity of the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ

You already know our family.

The Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ has fought for better lung health for decades.

Now, we're fighting for hearts.

Every 90 minutes, someone in New Zealand dies from cardiovascular disease.

Many of those lives could be saved, but, right now, too many are lost in a broken, under-resourced system.

Kia Manawanui Trust – The Heart of Aotearoa is focused on improving access, equity, and outcomes for New Zealanders living with cardiovascular disease.

We’re advocating for more cardiac beds, more trained staff, faster diagnostics, and access to life-saving treatment –because the current system is failing.

Lives are being lost - not because we can’t treat heart disease, but because we’re not acting fast enough.

We’re here to change that.

At Kia Manawanui Trust, we work with leading cardiologists, communities, and decision-makers to push for the investment, staffing, and system-wide change New Zealand urgently needs.

We are steadfast. We are focused. We are not waiting.
