DONATE

Manaaki Matakaoa Flood Relief Appeal is currently set up to assist whānau here in Matakāoa who are currently affected by the ongoing devastations of the recent Tropical Storm event. The Far East Cape region of Matakãoa (Kopuapounamu, Awatere, Te Araroa, Horoera, Punaruku, Wharekahika, Onepoto, Matakãoa Point, Waikura, Potaka) has been hit HARD and are currently needing assistance.

Your donation today will go towards flood relief efforts for those impacted by recent floods.

We have limited roading access (just one trunkline) which is currently cut off in multiple locations right across the region, by the recent storm events, and climate change means that these severe weather events are occurring more often, every year. Infrastructure like power, internet, roading, and water is very insecure (or in some cases non-existent) and prone to disruption.

Manaaki Matakāoa urgently requires funding support in order to maintain an appropriate level of care that responds to these unique intersecting challenges.

What your donations could help pay for:

• Essential supplies for impacted families

• Fuel (for transport, chainsaws, buggies, diggers etc)

• Recovery efforts (clearing debris, repairing fences etc)

• Heli-transport for goods and stranded whānau

All proceeds go directly towards supporting our provision of care for our community in Matakāoa.

100% of all donated funds will go towards flood relief, and will be transparently accounted for here on this page.

Ngā mihi nui!
