Pou Kai + Wai

Our Kai and Wai kaupapa brings these two threads together, guided by mana whenua and grounded in the understanding that kai and wai are inseparable.  

Kai Motuhake is about restoring control of food systems to iwi, hapuu, and communities. It is self-determination, dignity, and long-term resilience.

Harvest Helpers collects surplus home‑grown and locally produced kai across the Waikato, preventing food waste and increasing access to fresh, healthy produce.
