Hei oranga tangata. We invest in people.
In Te Tairawhiti, economic pressures on our whenua disproportionately affect the most vulnerable, often excluding them from financial benefits. The East Coast, like many rural areas, faces slow economic growth, enticing people away from whānau and whenua. Rua prioritizes kaitiakitanga, aiming to protect the environment and share business success with the community, driven by a belief that thriving businesses benefit both the land and its people.

Rua is proud to introduce our Scholarship Programme, designed to assist students in Te Tairawhiti or those with regional affiliations pursuing studies aligned with our business or kaupapa (purpose).
Since 2020 we've positively impacted 53 students by awarding scholarships totaling over NZ$80,000.
We extend a warm invitation for you to participate in this meaningful initiative by contributing NZ$2000 to a scholarship.
Your generous support will play a crucial role in empowering students to pursue and achieve their educational and career aspirations, fostering a brighter future for our community.
