What is the Kai Pāhara Grant?

For some of the whānau of the Ngāti Rārua Ātiawa hapū, these times are incredibly challenging – mentally, socially, and financially.

The Trust recognises that the publicly funded hardship grants and other options of financial and hardship support may still not be enough to help those in need get through.

If this is you or your whānau, and you’re a registered owner of the Ngāti Rārua Ātiawa Iwi Trust living in Aotearoa, please apply for Kai Pāhara – a grant established for NRAIT owners that need additional support. In most circumstances this will be provided in the form of a kai parcel.

 

Guidelines and conditions

  • A grant will be made to registered owners up to the value of $200.
  • The grant will be a one per year per household grant, ie one per address.
