Help Te Puna Reo o Ngā Kākano Move Whare

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!
