Tamai Sports is a charitable community impact organisation working with tamariki aged 8-11 from East Christchurch. We aim to enable, equip, encourage, and empower tamariki and whānau to participate in sport and strengthen their hauora. How we do this: Transport - Tamariki are bused to and from trainings, removing a major barrier to participation. Kai - Tamariki are fed before and after training and games including at hot dinner on Wednesdays. Equipment - Sports equipment can be expensive. We solve this by providing training and playing uniforms, boots, mouth-guards and all other necessities to our tamariki. Mentoring - Provide hands on role models encouraging overall Hauora for a brighter future. Culture - We celebrate the cultural identity and diversity within Aotearoa by using key Māori and Pasifika values. Whānau - We understand it takes a community to raise a child, bringing different communities and whānau together to encourage participation and support.
