Hiria Faofua is a West Auckland business owner and the founder of Kids Korowai. The family owned business in West Auckland sells handcrafted items, including Korowai and Poi. 

The aim for the products is to provide a fun cultural experience for children while also promoting Maori culture and indigenous artisans. 

Hiria Faofua believes if every child had the opportunity to wear a korowai, it would provide the opportunity for them to stand in their own mana.
