to stop tamariki going into care
Waikato Tainui has secured $32.1 million from Oranga Tamariki to assist in a successful iwi-led support programme to help empower children and whānau in need.
The funding will be distributed over the next five years towards the Mokopuna Ora programme, an initiative in which Waikato Tainui supports whānau to prevent mokopuna (grandchildren) going into the care of Oranga Tamariki.
Mokopuna Ora also supports tamariki to be with whakapapa-whānau caregivers.
