The Tihei Mauri Ora Emergency Response Centre is a Pandemic Coordination unit that will deliver an equitable response to COVID -19 for Māori and Pasifika whānau residing in the region of Ngāti Kahungunu, from the Wharerata Ranges in the Wairoa District extending to the Remutaka Ranges in South Wairarapa.
The target audience group for assistance is our most vulnerable whānau, ie. Kaumātua and whānau with pre-existing medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes and heart disease. We value all people and desire that all people stay well.
For Ngāti Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated (NKII), our communication to whānau will always be through our six constituent Taiwhenua. It is important that Māori whether tangata whenua or ngā mata waka who live in the rohe of Kahungunu, link to these constituent groups to keep abreast of the support that may come through the centre. If you are one of our vulnerable whānau members, please let your Taiwhenua know.
