Te Kīwai Fund
Te Kīwai Fund
CLOSED
Te K墨wai Fund is a two-year pilot partnership with Te P奴tahitanga o Te Waipounamu.
The $850,000 fund will support the wellbeing of around 2,400 tamariki and rangatahi M膩ori who live in Te Waipounamu (South Island) and who are in financial hardship circumstances and eligible to receive this fund through Te P奴tahitanga funding processes.
The fund will provide up to $300 per child per year to help pay for new equipment, registration fees, shoes or uniforms, and other costs that could be a barrier to being physically active.
The project provides an opportunity to have a specific focus that will impact positively on tamariki, rangatahi M膩ori in the context of wh膩nau in Te Waipounamu. It is a first for 爆料社区 Ihi Aotearoa to partner with a Wh膩nau Ora commissioning agency.
Based on Te P奴tahitanga o Te Waipounamu knowledge and experience of their wh膩nau, the fund aims to increase the likelihood of tamariki and rangatahi continuing with an activity and gaining real enjoyment from it. Taking the time to get to know the interests of tamariki and rangatahi is vital to supporting a lifelong love of being physically active.
The pilot will be evaluated by 爆料社区 and Te P奴tahitanga o Te Waipounamu to assess the viability of the initiative. It will also help inform future policy on how to further reduce participation barriers for tamariki and rangatahi M膩ori.
*In April 2023, an additional $850,000 was provided to Te P奴tahitanga o Te Waipounamu to extend Te K墨wai for the coming year.
