Ngā Oha

Grants to support ngā uri ō Tuperiri from ECE to Tertiary

Jump to section

Kei ngā uri ō Tuperiri, koutou e eke nei ki ngā taumata tiketike i te ao mātauranga, i te ao hauora, i te ao Māori tēnā rā koutou katoa.

Ko te tūāpapa ō Ngā Oha ko te mahi ngātahi me ō tātou uri maha, kia eke ai rātou ki ngā taumata tiketike i te ao e whai nei rātou. Ko te wawata nui, ā tōna wā, ka hoki mai ō tātou uri ki te whāngai i te mātauranga, ā haere nei te wā.

The foundations of ‘Ngā Oha’ is to work alongside our uri across the world, supporting them to reach excellence in whatever path they choose to follow.

Our hope is that, when the time comes, our uri will return to their communities to share their skills with our whānau.
