A Dream Beyond Borders: Help Tane Get To South Africa

$300 of $8,000 goal
Given by 10 generous donors in 3 days

Selected to represent Aotearoa on the world stage. Help us send Tane to South Africa and turn his dream into reality.

Hamilton, Waikato

He’s earned the Silver fern. Now he just needs the chance to wear it on the world stage.

Tane has been given a life-changing opportunity his first chance to represent Aotearoa New Zealand in Indoor Netball at an international series in South Africa.

This moment means everything. It reflects years of hard work, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to the game he loves. Tane has pushed himself to compete at a top level, and now he has the honour of representing not just himself, but his whānau, his community, and his country.

He carries all of us with him.

For Tane, this is more than a trip, it’s a dream, a purpose, and a chance to stand proudly for where he comes from.

But right now, one thing stands in the way: financial support. The costs of travel and tournament expenses are the only barrier between Tane and this incredible opportunity.

We believe in the strength of the collective — that it takes a village to lift one of our own.

This is our moment to stand behind him.

If you can, please donate and help get Tane to South Africa. No amount is too small, every koha brings him one step closer.

Let’s back Tane. Let’s send him to the world stage.

Together, we can make this dream a reality.

Ngā mihi nui for your support ❤️

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
