This fund is for individuals or groups that want to support whānau wellbeing and connection to te ao Māori

Tai Neke, Tai Ora is underpinned by Tā Mason Durie’s, Te Whare Tapa Wha model and was previously delivered as Navigator Tinana, a workforce of tinana champions that supported whānau across Te Waipounamu to stay active. Tai Neke, Tai Ora later developed into an investment fund for whānau who want to address the health inequities faced by whānau Māori and advocate for te reo Māori me ōna tikanga.  

Tai Neke, Tai Ora supports kaupapa that help whānau to understand the importance of nurturing all aspects of their hauora, as well as building a connection to te ao Māori and to their hapori. Tai Neke, Tai Ora supports the revitalisation and promotion of te reo Māori me ōna tikanga and activities that seek to lift the wairua of whānau Māori through traditional healing practices.
