Since 2010 Para Kore have been working with local communities to educate and advocate to reduce waste from a Maori framework aligned with Kaupapa and Tikanga Maori.
Through their Oranga Taiao programme, Para Kore has worked with Marae, Kura, Kohanga, Maori businesses and community groups, supporting them in finding ways to reduce their waste. Some of their key initiatives include a waste check, implementing onsite composting facilities, recycling crates and worm farms.
Their work within our Northland local community has been described as an eye-opening experience and has resulted in positive systematic changes towards reducing waste in many organisations
Every year Northland Waste sponsors Para Kore $6,000, which has enabled them to do the following:
-
5 part-time positions in Northland (Whangarei, Kaikohe, Hokianga, Kaitaia and Te Kao).
-
200+ Marae signed up nationwide.
-
Helps Para Kore equipt marae, Kura, Kohanga and organisations with the skills, resources and knowledge to have a significantly lower impact on Papatūānuku.
-
Para Kore can offer its resources and support at no cost to those that participate.
