Te Kīwai is a fund delivered in partnership between Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu and Sport New Zealand Ihi Aotearoa to support Māori wellbeing through active play, taonga tākaro and kapa haka by helping remove barriers to participation in sport and recreation.
Te Kīwai is open to Māori aged 5 to 18 years living in Te Waipounamu, Rakiura and Rēkohu/Wharekauri who are experiencing financial hardship and need that little extra support to gear up and get active.
Eligible tamariki/rangatahi can apply for up to $300 per annum to contribute to:
- – Uniform
- – Equipment
- – Participation costs e.g., membership fees or club fees
- – Transportation e.g., petrol voucher.
