Mahitahi Hauora is a proud partner of the Kai Ora Fund 🌱

𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝟏𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐊𝐚𝐢 𝐎𝐫𝐚 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝!

Since launching in 2015, the Kai Ora Fund has grown stronger every year. Now in its tenth year, we’re proud to have supported 47 new projects in 2025, distributing over $180,000 to selected recipients in Te Tai Tokerau.

From the Cape to Kaiwaka, these projects are sprinkled through the region - many in rural areas, where accessing nourishing, local, and affordable kai can be a real challenge.

Here’s to a decade of supporting our community-led food initiatives! 🌱

Thank you to our partners - Whangarei District Council, Mahitahi Hauora, Kaipara District Council, Far North District Council, Healthy Families Far North, Ministry of Social Development NZ, Department of Internal Affairs, Kāinga Ora - Homes and Communities, Foundation North, Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora

It’s Measles Immunisation Week! 🛡️

Measles is highly contagious - but the good thing is it’s also preventable. This week is all about making sure our communities are protected.

✅ The MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) is free for anyone under 18 and for those eligible for free healthcare. Two doses of the MMR vaccine provide 99% of people with protection against measles.

📍 Drop-in clinics are running in many places across the country - no appointment needed.

📍 Many pharmacists and GP clinics offer MMR immunisation.

👶 Not sure if your child is immunised? Now’s the time to check.

📲 Visit info.health.nz/immunisations/immunisation-clinics for local drop-in clinics near you. Note that not every part of NZ has drop-in clinics running, but lots of pharmacies are providing MMR.

📲 Visit healthpoint.co.nz for MMR providers around the country, including pharmacies.

📲 Book a vaccine online at: info.health.nz/bookavaccine
