Hauora Grant

Dental / Orthodontic

Purpose

The purpose of our Ngāti Mākino Hauora Grants are to help improve the hauora and well being of all Ngāti Mākino uri.

Hauora grants are provided as a contribution to the costs of one off hauora needs, that improve the quality of life of iwi members. Hauora grants are not made to meet day to day hauora care such as regular doctor / dentist / physio etc visits nor are they distributed for personal choice decisions. 

Dental and orthodontic work is essential to address high rates of preventable oral disease and if left untreated, can lead to decay, gum disease, and pain.
