Creating a rangatahi space for Raahui Pookeka

Te Whare Wai Ora receives its name due to it being situated with the Waikato Awa on one side and Lakes Puketirini and Waahi on the other. The naming of this whare also makes connection with Waahi Whaanui’s moto - Whenua Ora, Wai Ora, Whaanau Ora. If we look after our whenua and our wai, it in turn will look after our whaanau.This whare also provides 2 conference facilities, Puketirini and Rotoiti (The previous name of Lake Puketirini) These conference facilities can be utilised by contacting Waahi Whaanui Trust.
