💛 Voting is Now Open – Please Support Araiteuru Marae 💛

Kia ora whānau, friends, and supporters,
We are humbly asking for your support.

Araiteuru Marae has been selected as a finalist in The Good Energy Project, an initiative by Think Solar Dunedin where one local organisation will receive a FREE solar system to help continue their positive impact in the community.

For us, this is more than energy — it’s about sustaining a place of belonging, culture, healing, learning, and connection for all who walk through our gates.

Our marae is a space where:
🌿 community comes together
🌿 tamariki learn and grow
🌿 kaumatua are cared for
🌿 culture, language, and identity are strengthened

Every vote is an act of tautoko for the work that happens here on our whenua.

If you believe in supporting spaces that uplift people and strengthen community wellbeing, we would be truly grateful for your vote.

👉 Please take a moment to vote for Araiteuru Marae and share this with your whānau.

On the nights we are not having a meal, we are singing waiata Māori, learning and immersing ourselves in tikanga Māori...Whoop, whoop, whoop! Nau mai, haere mai :-)
