Donate to Iho Māori

You can support Iho Māori at Te Herenga Waka to ensure all our students and staff achieve success and create a better tomorrow.

Our pan-iwi marae is a place of learning and connection where Māori students and staff can immerse themselves within their culture and our wider community can 'moor their waka' and find a sense of belonging.

One of the ways that you can help is by supporting programmes and activities connected to Ngā Mokopuna (formerly the Living Pā)—our award-winning centre that aspires to meet Living Building™ certification as one of the world’s most environmentally responsible buildings.

You can support students with events, holistic support activities, and other initiatives that build connection and collaboration. This will enhance the values of Ngā Mokopuna such as manaakitanga and kaitiakitanga, and acting with more care towards people and the natural world. Ngā Mokopuna also offers healthy and satisfying cooked lunches to students for only eight dollars, ensuring they get at least one good meal a day.
