🌊 KIA HIWA RĀ KIA HIWA RĀ 🌊
🌊 Papaki mai ngā ngaru nunui
Wawaratia ngā tai rere
E ripo e ngā ngaru nunui
E rehutai, hei konei rā
🌊 Ka āta pōrutu mai ngā wai taurikura ki te ākau
He au hāro, he wai rahopē
Whakamoe tai, whakamoe ngaru, whakamoe ahiahi
Kua tō te rā ki runga o Ngaru-wawata, o Ngaru-moemoeā, o ngā Ngaru-Tekau-Mā-Waru
🌊 Kei ngā maunga whakahī, kei ngā wai whakatere taniwha, kei ngā tai mihi tangata
Tēnei mātou o Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu e mihi atu nei ki a koutou katoa i hoe tahi ki a mātou i tēnei terenga nui o tātou
Nā te ngākaunui me te kaha whakapono ki a mātou, he whakatutukinga nui atu i tō mātou i whakaaro.
Koutou e whakatinana nei i ngā wawata nui, e mihi ana.
Kia mau tonu tātou ki te taura o tēnei waka kei motukia
MĀTAIHIA TE PAE TATA, HE WAI ANŌ E PUKE MAI NEI!
LOOK TO THE HORIZON, THERE IS ANOTHER WAVE SWELLING UP!
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
In 2014, Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu introduced an innovative direct investment approach to commissioning with the launch of The Hothouse incubator, which invited whānau to share their dreams, aspirations and their own flax-roots whānau-driven solutions.
That inaugural Hothouse attracted more than 200 applications and from this pilot, our cornerstone WAVE social impact investment stream was launched.
Since then, each funding ‘wave’ has come to represent the unstoppable momentum of change that derives from whānau strength.
Over 18 rounds, Wave funding has supported 705 whānau initiatives and this unique commissioning pipeline has been “at the cutting edge of innovation in the Whānau Ora commissioning context,” standing out for its focus on social entrepreneurship.
A decade on, it is now time to take the original idea even further, to innovate and respond to calls from the flax roots for better support for pakihi.
A DECADE ON, WE ARE PROUD TO INTRODUCE A NEXT-GENERATION WAVE FUND TO POWER WHĀNAU DREAMS.
