Ngati Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated are pleased to announce their support of Little Elms – a new child cancer support

Ngati Kahungunu Chairman, Ngahiwi Tomoana says, “This facility will offer real hope, support and assistance to our
families and children in times of great stress and hardship. It will offer our families a chance to stay together while
children are receiving treatment. We would like to commend the Trucking for Child Cancer charity for all their hard
work in making this dream a reality”.
In addition to making a significant contribution towards the cost of building the facilities, Ngati Kahungunu Iwi
