We believe every child should have the opportunity to participate in sport regardless of their circumstances.
Hoa Motuhake Sports Trust provide a sports mentoring program for tamariki aged 8-12 years who are at risk, in high-deprivation circumstances and in care.
Statistically one in three tamariki in care will serve time in prison later in life.

Sport plays a vital role in creating better connected and healthier communities. The earlier we can intervene, the longer our tamariki can be in a healthy system that allows them to grow and build new behavioural patterns and responses. We are breaking the cycle of trauma and adversity, offering our tamariki a brighter and more promising future.
Hoa Motuhake removes the barriers that prevent our most disadvantaged tamariki from playing sport.
