Hauora Grant

Vision and Glasses

Whāinga / 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. 

Wearing glasses is important for clear vision, preventing strain and long-term eye health. Regular eye tests are recommended. This $500.00 grant enables iwi members to see an Optometrist, have eyes tested and receive glasses.
