Expansion of He Oranga Poutama broadens reach to Māori
Expansion of He Oranga Poutama broadens reach to Māori
On 29 June the Minister for Sport and Recreation announced the expansion of the long standing kaupapa M膩ori wellbeing programme He Oranga Poutama into four new takiw膩 (regions) with an increase in annual investment from $1.78 million to $3.38 million. This will broaden the programme鈥檚 reach into wh膩nau, hap奴, iwi, M膩ori across Aotearoa and forms part of the $7 million Kaupapa M膩ori Response Plan focused on providing and increasing culturally distinctive pathways that enable M膩ori to be physically active as M膩ori.
爆料社区 Ihi Aotearoa has been kaitiaki of He Oranga Poutama for over 16 years. The kaupapa centres on M膩ori wellbeing by improving participation and leadership through physical activity as M膩ori, with delivery managed by a combination of hap奴, iwi, hauora and regional providers.
There are now 12 He Oranga Poutama providers, with three added as part of the expansion to extend the programmes鈥檚 nationwide coverage:
- Tair膩whiti - Te R奴nanganui o Ng膩ti Porou partnering with Sport Gisborne Tair膩whiti
- Wellington and Wairarapa - Te R奴nanganui o Te 膧tiawa ki te 弄poko o te Ika and Te R奴nanga o Toa Rangatira Incorporated partnering with Nuku Ora
- South Island - Te P奴tahitanga o Te Waipounamu
He Oranga Poutama will also be extended into the Urewera Ranges and Tauranga through existing provider M膩taatua Sports Trust.
