First signups for the Epuni Precinct!
A beautiful day with the Māra Sisters as we work alongside our friends at Takiri Mai te Ata Homelessness Prevention Services, MSD and Kainga Ora, signing up the new whānau moving into the new housing precinct in Epuni.
Wainuiomata Marae had the privilege of hosting 200 whānau from Tainui Waka – Kingitanga who arrived in support of the Toitu te Tiriti Hikoi in Wellington City to Parliament.
Plans to support the Māori Language Hikoi in Wellington City were called off due to bad weather.
A beautiful blessing this morning in Epuni as another three blocks of housing are opened at the 150 home precinct, in readiness to house those most in need of warm, safe housing in our city.
Kōkiri Marae were proud to lead a 3 day Kaupapa having thousands engage in this important Māori event.
It was a pleasure to have a walk through yesterday to look at how the build is shaping in this ground breaking new precinct that will offer wrap around health services, community gardens, orchards, beautiful facilities and a community centre with a commercial kitchen.
And we’re back with another fun filled year planned for our tamariki and rangatahi.
