💯

We want to stay in our lane whānau, but let’s be real—one-size-fits-all isn’t working.

After five years working alongside thousands of whānau, we can tell you straight—no parent wants the government to feed their kids for them—they want to be able to do it themselves

Whānau want to do what every other parent does—go to the shop, buy food for their tamariki, and unpack the groceries at home. That shouldn't be a luxury—that’s what should be normal.

And here’s the thing—when a flower doesn’t bloom, we don’t blame the flower. We check the soil.

We’re not economists, but if whānau can’t afford school lunches, maybe instead of just handing out sandwiches, it’s time to fix the soil. 🌱

KI O RAHI

Ki-o-Rahi he taonga tuku iho
Ka huakina te whatumanawa ki te ao Māori hei ihi rangaranga .
E hikohiko katoa ana te mauri me te ngakau
Hei taonga mo te katoa , he tatau ki te ao Māori
Ki-o-Rahi he taonga tuku iho

Ki o Rahi a cherished treasure , it opens hearts and minds to te ao Māori , it gives passion and purpose , it sparks and nurtures our mauri and brings light and life .Ki o Rahi is a cherished treasure .

We are keen to bring Nga Kemu Māori
Into our healing spaces and highlighting the benefits they bring .

The game of Ki o Rahi stems from the legend of Rahitutakahina and Tiarakurapakewai.

It is essential that when learning the game that the puurakau (story) is also learnt.

The story demonstrates that the sport is much more than a game. It is a tribute to our ancestors, our language and our culture.

GAME WHAKAPAPA/ATUATANGA

Based on the Purakau (legend) of Rahitutakahina and the rescue of his wife Tiarakurapakewai. The tākaro is a reflection of Tupuna story telling at its best, as well as provides an insight into the way in which they would explain and design Tākaro to reflect their unique "world view". The Papa Tākaro (field) layout of Ki o Rahi and the way the Tākaro is played is a perfect example of this.

Ki-o-Rahi is a traditional Maori sport that is gaining popularity around the world. It is a combination of rugby and touch football, and it can provide many health benefits for players of all ages.Some of the health benefits of Ki-o-Rahi include:

Improved cardiovascular fitness: Ki-o-Rahi is a high-intensity sport that requires players to run, jump, and change direction quickly. This can improve cardiovascular fitness and help to reduce the risk of heart disease.
Increased strength and flexibility: The sport of Ki-o-Rahi requires players to use their entire body, including their arms, legs, and core. This can help to increase strength and flexibility, which can improve overall health and reduce the risk of injury.

Improved coordination and balance: Ki-o-Rahi requires players to pay close attention to their surroundings and react quickly to changes in the game. This can improve coordination and balance, which can help to reduce the risk of falls in older adults.

Mental health benefits: Ki-o-Rahi can also provide mental health benefits, such as reducing stress and anxiety. The sport requires players to be present in the moment and to focus on the task at hand, which can be a powerful antidote to the distractions and stress of modern life.

Social benefits: Ki-o-Rahi is a team sport, which can provide social benefits such as friendship and camaraderie. It is a good way to meet people and make new friends.

Just posting this to remind all indigenous people, Tangata Whenua around the world to NEVER stop fighting for your people, land, culture & tikanga... dont let western society & colonisation decide for you who you should be, how you look, think & act... We are the key to saving this sick & dying world. We have been preserving it since the beginning of time while others have come in to destroy, conquer & build on the bones of our dead.... aaaanyway did u ask... i dont care anymore... koutou ma o te hunga whenua, purutia ki te tai a tū ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

TIAKI PI - BEE KEEPING PROGRAM

Bee Hives at Nga Kete Wananga Solutions Ltd 😍.

With the help of renowned Bee Keeper Mr Brian Alexander our Pi Program is doing well . 4 of our new Akonga have joined the program.

Bees and bee products are healing for tangata on so many levels.

Bees as a business with therapeutic value.

In both cases, it’s about hope, second chances and rehabilitation on a deep inner level.

Bees also benefit from these relationships because they face so many survival issues.

When people learn to love and respect bees, the bond between humans and bees strengthens, and we all benefit from a more meaningful future.

The bees will have had a positive effect on our akonga , giving them purpose and meaning.

Bees are the new addition to the new Initiative of Nga Kete Wananga Solutions Ltd.

This program provides hope, knowledge and an additional means to earn a living and enhance employment chances when they get out of prison.

Prisoners who has suffered from anger all his life claims not only is he feeling more serene handling the bees, but he’s learning more about himself.

This is a powerful theme that benefits people, communities and our beloved bees.

RA WHAKATAUNGA - SENTENCING DAY

Kia whakatōmuri te haere whakamua: ‘I walk backwards into the future with my eyes fixed on my past’

This whakataukī or ‘proverb’ speaks to perspectives of time, where the past, the present and the future are viewed as intertwined, and life as a continuous cosmic process. Within this continuous cosmic movement, time has no restrictions – it is both past and present.

The past is central to and shapes both present and future identity. From this perspective, the individual carries their past into the future.

The strength of carrying one’s past into the future is that ancestors are ever present, existing both within the spiritual realm and in the physical, alongside the living as well as within the living. Explores perspectives of the past and the models and inspiration they offer.

There’s so much our past has donated to our future good or bad …it’s knowledge gained , ancestral links that shape us .

Tomorrow we tautoko 1 of our akonga who has spent almost a year with us and goes up for sentencing .

She graduated from our program after months and continued to stay with us to pursue her goals , give back to her
community with the aim to return home to her family more stronger with a positive pathway ahead .

Kei te hoki mai o tatou rangatira!

When you are lucky enough like me to witness these wahinetoa make positive change in their lives and see them thrive and become the Mareikura they were destined to be , and when I say Mareikura I mean our Grandmothers, mothers, sisters, daughters return home ready and hungry for the roles they were destined to have ..then people might understand why we believe in what we do , why it’s essential not just for them …but for nga uri whakaheke/future generations…. for destined Mareikura to come .

We love you our girl! . Gods Gangsta 💯🙏🏽❤️

Mauri ora .
