Te Puna Reo o Ngā Kākano is getting earthquake strengthened and we have to move - we need your help getting into our new whare.
Pipitea, Wellington
Beginning in early June, our home on Thorndon Quay for the last 16 years will need to be closed for earthquake strengthening for at least four months, possibly longer. Despite the odds, we’ve found a new home for while the earthquake strengthening mahi is completed.
As a not-for-profit, whānau-led centre, we need to raise funds to cover costs for:
- packing up and moving to a new whare
- storing furniture and resources
- getting our new whare ready for our kaiako and tamariki
Puna Reo is the only Māori medium early childhood education centre in central Wellington and has provided countless whānau a safe space to support one another and raise tamariki together with te reo, ōna tikanga and te ao Māori as central tenets of their lives. The wider Puna whānau are invested in keeping the kaupapa alive and we need your help.
Whakatipuria te kākano, kia pihi, kia puāwai! - Nurture the seed to flourish and bloom!
A kaiako led, whānau governed and supported, not for profit childcare service operating through the Te Puna Reo o Ngā Kākano Charitable Trust. Our vision is, “Whakatipuria te kākano kia pihi, kia puāwai” (Nurture the seed to flourish & bloom).
We're going to need some money to dismantle, pack up, shift and store some of our stuff.
If there's any putea left over we'll be able to get some new supplies and resources for the tamariki to use in their new space.

Gathering quotes and getting into things has meant we've got a bit of a more realistic view of what's required.
