Impact never happens in isolation
Kia Hākinakina is built upon establishing community relationships and partnerships. Our formative stages included relationship development with schools and clusters, councils and sports organisations. Since then, these connections have grown, with additional impactful partnerships being formalised.

Relationship and belonging are key
The focus on Whanaungatanga is not restricted to organisational relationships. Within the approach of Kia Hākinakina activation itself, relationship and belonging are key. The facilitation and activation approach allows for this through shared values and actions aligned to Te Ao Māori as a principle.
