This fund supports strengthening the use of te reo as an everyday language of communication within the home. Supports whānau who are actively raising tamariki using te reo māori within the home, to enable them to attend immersion te reo opportunities within the Kāi Tahu takiwā.

WHAT TYPES OF INITIATIVES For individuals attending kura reo throughout New Zealand, Te Panekiretanga, immersion papers at postgraduate level and so on. Activities that we currently support are puna reo groups and Māori play-groups. We have a variety of levels from those starting out to total immersion groups. Events organised by KMK such as Kura Reo Kāi Tahu and/or events supported by papatipu rūnaka will be considered.

Haere rā Keela!
especially those candidates of Kā Manukura o Te Reo and I’m sure they will all share in wishing Keela the very best in the future.
E te ngākau tūpore, e te uri o Tūwharetoa, o Kahungunu, o Ngāti Apa, o Mauke. Kai te whakamiha te iwi nei ki a koe.
Keela has been an encouraging role model for the many families engaged in Kotahi Mano Kāika initiatives. She has been a founding member and continual support for the Te Puna o Ngā Mata Riki group in Christchurch. She has truly embodied the iwi vision for te reo through her enduring commitment to personal te reo development, raising her two tamariki with te reo as their first language in the home alongside her partner Iaean Cranwell.
Nō mātou te waimaria i noho mai koe i ēnei ono tau kua hori atu hai pae mō kā manu e pīkōkō ana ki tō tātou reo matahīapo. It is with sadness, but best wishes, that we farewell Keela Atkinson (he uri o Tūwharetoa, o Kahungunu, o Ngāti Apa, o Mauke), from our KMK team but congratulate her on her new position with careers service – rapuara.
Her engaging nature, enthusiasm and warm, bubbly personality will be missed within the team, but we are certain that we will see Keela and her whānau at the and future KMK and Ngāi Tahu iwi events.
Keela has fulfilled the role of KMK project co-ordinator for Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu for six years and has supported a range of iwi te reo developments, initiatives and events over this time. In recent years Keela has provided an outstanding support service to all recipients of the KMK funds,
