Kia ora e te whanau,
As many of you will know a few weeks ago we held a Whenua hui at Puketawa Marae, to discuss a Hapu Buyback of the farm located at 1433 Horeke Road, Utakura. This farm is straight across the road from the marae. We discussed a few different avenues to get this whenua back one of which was a Hapu buy back.

We have set up an all or nothing Give a little Page. If you are able to help then please feel free to make a koha via our Give a little page...
An "all or nothing" Givealittle page is a type of fundraising page where donors pledge money towards a specific goal (for us it's purchasing 1433 Horeke Road), but their pledges only become actual donations if the full target amount is reached by the deadline; if the goal isn't met, none of the pledged money is taken from the donors, essentially meaning the project "fails" if it doesn't reach the full target amount.
Our goal is lofty at $1,890,000 (this includes the purchase price of the whenua and the give a little service fee). But we believe Whaia e koe ki te iti kahurangi ki te tuohu koe, me maunga teitei.
Whanau this is your chance to be apart of buying back whenua for our Hapu. This whenua was once owned by the Kingi whanau, and the link to the minutes includes some of the korero around how the whenua was alienated, 1433 Horeke road also holds the original site of Puketawa Marae.
Share the link with your networks whanau. Aroha mai Aroha atu.
Any patai please let us know.
