🌸🤍 Support for victims of crime – you don’t have to navigate it alone 🤍🌸

Many people don’t realise that Victim Support can provide counselling and practical support for people affected by serious crime, including sexual violence.

If ACC support is delayed, up to 10 hours of counselling may be available through Victim Support while people wait for ACC to begin.

Victim Support may also be able to help with:

🤍 Grants to assist with costs following a crime
🌸 Additional funding to support safety and healing
🤍 Support when attending court or justice processes
🌸 Travel and accommodation related to hearings

The Victim Assistance Scheme (VAS) helps reduce some of the financial and emotional burden that can follow serious crime and supports people through the justice system and recovery journey.

If you or someone you know may benefit from support, you can contact Victim Support directly or reach out to me and I can help guide you through the process.

Tonight’s Tāne Ora evening created a space for tāne to gather, connect, and share mauri with one another.

Through kōrero, laughter, and reflection, the kaupapa centred on the importance of the role of a tāne — within his own life and within his whānau. It was a reminder that being a tāne is not only about responsibility, but also about presence, integrity, and the mauri carried into the spaces he walks.

A key part of the evening was the binding of the toki, where each tāne used the pūkenga of his hands to bind his taonga. Within that process sits intention — the mauri placed into the toki through patience, focus, and care. The taonga becomes a reflection of the energy and whakaaro put into its creation.

Spaces like this matter. When tāne come together with purpose, they strengthen themselves, their whānau, and their communities.

Ngā mihi to the tāne who showed up and contributed their presence and energy to the kaupapa tonight. Mauri ora. 🪶
It’s always a pleasure to hold and share space

KIA PIKI TE ORA – Tāne Ora
FREE Evening Wānanga | Masterton

E te whānau, we are holding a special Tāne Ora evening grounded in pūrākau and mahi whakairo — a space created for tāne to reconnect with their purpose, release what no longer serves them, and reclaim their mauri.

Mahi whakairo is more than carving — it is a process of binding and release. A way to anchor mauri back to tinana, hinengaro and wairua so our tāne can stand with clarity, strength and intent in their lives and responsibilities.

🗓 Thursday 5th March 2026
⏰ 5.00pm – 7.30pm
📍 Masterton (venue confirmed on registration)
💚 FREE to attend

Limited spaces available.
To register, send your name and number to admin@kahikitia.co.nz

Tāne Ora Pounamu Wānanga

Today’s wānanga was something truly special. Our tāne stepped into the space with openness, courage, and a willingness to wānanga deeply, and we honour every one of you.

Pounamu carving reminds us that when we peel back the layers, we reveal the beauty that has always lived within. Just like pounamu, our experiences don’t define who we are — they shape us, refine us, and teach us.

Each tāne carried his own story, his own mamae, his own strength. And today, we witnessed what happens when tāne are given a space to breathe, to release, to reconnect, and to simply be. Too often our tāne are overlooked, expected to stand as the pou of our whānau without being offered spaces of their own to heal. Today was a reminder that when we uplift tāne, we uplift whānau, iwi, and hapori.

We look forward to having another wānanga with you in the New Year

Tēnei te mihi ki a koutou ngā tāne i tū kaha, i tū māia i roto i tō tātou wānanga i tēnei rā.
Mauri tū, mauri ora, kia ū, kia manawanui i tō ara whakakaha

He mihi aroha ki Te Waka Whaiora Trust
i raro i te maru o Kia Piki te Ora, mō tō koutou tautoko i tēnei kaupapa whakahirahira



If you are interested in either hosting one of these wānanga in your hapori, workplace or wanting to attend one please get in touch with us via PM or our website

He kaupapa iti, he ngākau nui.

As a small kaupapa Māori organisation, we do the mahi because our communities deserve it. Not being government-funded comes with its challenges, ae—but it also means we are not bound by the restrictions that many others face. This gives us the freedom to move with our tikanga, respond quickly to the needs of our people, and sponsor kaupapa that uplift our own.

We are incredibly proud to support Māori Touch Nationals this year, and especially our Maniapoto Men’s 40s team for another year.

These tāne put in the hard yards—training, committing, showing discipline—and their kaupapa embodies Tāne Ora in every way:
Tinana strengthened through movement,
Wairua uplifted through brotherhood,
Hinengaro focused through purpose,
and Whānau connected through pride and representation.

Giving back to our hapū, iwi and people is at the heart of why we exist. When our tāne thrive, our whānau thrive. When our whānau thrive, our iwi thrives.

Ngā mihi to our Maniapoto Men’s 40s — we are proud to stand behind you.

Semi-finals today - smash it tāne mā

He toru ngā rā i whakakotahi ai tātou i raro i te maru o te wānanga, hei whakanui i te mātauranga, te oranga, me te wairua rangatahi.
Over the past three days, we gathered as one rōpū — learning, reflecting, and uplifting one another through Youth Mental Health First Aid. It has been a time of connection, kōrero, and aroha, strengthening our ability to awhi rangatahi and each other in times of need.

On the final day, we embraced the beauty of creation — learning to weave our own Puawai, a reflection of how beauty can grow from our life experiences. Each thread carried a story, a moment of healing, and the strength of our collective journeys.

We also carved our own taonga pounamu — toki breastplates and roimata, each piece a sacred reminder of the resilience, courage, and aroha within us all. These taonga hold the wairua of the hands that shaped them, and the mauri of the people we have become through this kaupapa.

To our rōpū — ngā mihi aroha, ngā mihi whakamānawa ki a koutou katoa. Thank you for showing up with open hearts, for your laughter, your stories, and your willingness to grow together. The bonds formed will remain long after the wānanga has ended.

This kaupapa was proudly delivered by Ka Hikitia, and sponsored in part by Te Waka Whaiora through the Kia Piki te Ora programme. Ngā mihi nunui ki a koutou mō tō koutou tautoko, aroha, me te whakapono ki tēnei mahi rangatira.

He kaupapa rangatira, he wairua kotahi, he oranga ngākau.
Ngā manaakitanga o te wā ki a koutou katoa.

✨ Ka Hikitia in the Community ✨

Tonight we joined a community event around immunisations hosted by Whaiora, and we had the privilege of weaving a tukutuku panel alongside Moana from Tuitui Designs.

When you’re a small whānau-run business and your whānau works alongside you, being invited into these spaces means showing up as both whānau and as a whānau business, amongst all the other services and organisations.

As a whānau, we not only needed to be in sync with each other to get this complete, but we also shared some good laughs outside of the home—which is just as important.

For us, it’s just a whānau doing what we love—being out in the community, connecting, and sharing through manaakitanga. 💜

Keeping it real, keeping it grounded, always with aroha.

We have this beautiful taonga for our tari now 😊

Our First Youth Mental Health First Aid Wānanga in Wairarapa

Over the past two days, we’ve had the privilege of delivering our very first Youth Mental Health First Aid programme here in the Wairarapa. 🥳

A huge mihi to the 11 incredible people from our hapori who have completed the training, joining the national cohort of Youth Mental Health First Aiders. Your openness, willingness to share, learn, and deepen your understanding of mental health has been inspiring.

This kaupapa is about breaking down stigma, building confidence to kōrero, and reducing the risk of whakamomori in our communities. Together, we are creating safer, more connected spaces for our rangatahi. 💛

Ngā mihi nui to our kai manaaki for keeping us nourished and cared for – your mahi is such a vital part of the wānanga experience. 🙌

Ka hikitia, ka hapaitia – lifting and upholding our communities. 💫
