PARA KORE RECEIVES WASTE MINIMISATION FUNDING FOR TE WAIPOUNAMU
Para Kore Marae Incorporated are excited to announce support from the Government’s Waste Minimisation Fund to expand their services to Te Waipounamu. Para Kore will now have a regional presence in and around Christchurch, Dunedin and Invercargill providing their Oranga Taiao Programme to at least 45 rūnaka - marae and rōpū (kōhanga, kura, organisations and kaupapa Māori events). It is estimated this three-year project will reduce 67.5 tonnes of waste being generated.
Jacqui Forbes, Kaihautū Matua shared “We are delighted that the WMF and partners are supporting tiaki taiao action led by Māori in Te Waipounamu. Caring for our taiao, is much broader than reducing emissions and waste, first we must understand the systemic causes of the harm to Papatūānuku. What we need are solutions based on Tiriti partnership and relationship with te taiao. Para Kore is delighted to be partnering with the WMF, rūnaka, councils and Res.Awesome to provide te ao Māori education and support to Te Waipounamu. Indigenous peoples have always been leaders in caring for our natural world.”......
