March 2017 Recipients
Makoura Community Early childhood centre in Masterton received $991.43 to purchase new outdoor resources for their children’s learning.
The not-for-profit centre supports 25 young people from the nearby Wairarapa teen parent unit, and a further 25 children as part of community placements, to support mothers in low socioeconomic areas.
The grant will fund an outdoor play area complete with a flowing water channel and barrels with working pumps, encouraging the kids to play using natural resources.
