New hub planned for the Kiribati community in NZ's Warkworth

From , 6:00 am on 17 August 2020

A Kiribati community north of Auckland has started a project to build an authentic cultural hub over the next few years.

The Kiribati Aotearoa Diaspora Directorate is a youth-led trust behind the Kiribati Integrated Manaeba Project.

In the Rodney district, where there is a growing Pacific population, the project will provide a much-needed cultural space for these new migrants.
