"Ka Ora Ngā Rangatahi Māra Kai" is far more than a gardening initiative—it's an immersive journey for rangatahi (youth), teaching them self-reliance and the strength found in collective effort.

Through the timeless practice of māra kai (gardening), these young people are reconnecting with their cultural roots, embracing the principles of kaitiakitanga (guardianship) and rangatiratanga (leadership). The spirit of this kaupapa thrives in every planted seed and stretched wire, growing alongside the crops they nurture and standing as a powerful symbol of unity and purpose.

Kudos to the incredible husband-and-wife duo, Robert and Darnella Hawira, for generously opening their property—and their hearts—to bring this inspiring vision to life.
