Heal The Nation- Iwi Whakamahu

$11,240 donated
Given by 101 generous donors in 8 weeks

We will all travel together in unity to Rerenga Wairua to Heal! Heal! Heal the nation!

Nationwide

The kaupapa/movement Heal The Nation- Iwi Whakamahu is being led by two people as the face and a team of others from all walks of life who have lay the kawa for the journey.

Shubz Live, Aperehama Rua and Cole Tawaroa will be joined by a number of social media creators with platforms of their own as well as voices within community groups and businesses across the nation who have already shown strong support for the cause and mahi ahead.

There are 22 overnight stays at various locations of the journey from Wellington to Rerenga Wairua which will allow us to connect with the people and communities we are in where local businesses and charity workers will be welcomed to come along, meet and promote their businesses and charities (details and confirmation pending)

Long story short:

We start in Wellington and walk/drive to Ratana.

From Ratana we convoy across the country until we arrive in Kerikeri

From Kerikeri we continue the journey on foot to Waitangi where we will stay for Waitangi day celebrations before continuing North and ending the final night of the journey in Kaitaia.

Apologies to our other islands. It wasn't possible to add you all at this point. But that's not to say it will stay that way after this first part of the journey is complete.

This journey will be streamed across various social media platforms which is proving to be the best place to release content based on current analytics.

Thank you for your support🙏  16 January 2026

Thank you to all for you support so far.

The initial goal of $100,00 changed to being an open goal since the original kaupapa of what we are doing has changed. There was no way for me to edit the goal despite numerous attempts.

As people have seen, Martel is now in the country and Iwi Whakamahu-Heal The Nation is going ahead as planned.

As explained to Givealittle, the page has an end date of June due to the Iwi Whakamahu team not knowing the specifics after this haerenga. There have been numerous requests for the South and even Stewart Islands but that depends on the availability of the team and the funds available to do it and the success of this first (we hope) haerenga.

Nga mihi nui ki a koutou 🙏

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.
