Give $20 to help feed the 20%
Schools across New Zealand are telling us they are seeing more children arriving hungry, more families running out of money before payday, and growing numbers of children relying on school for food.
Many schools say they have never seen hardship at this level before.
In a recent survey of more than 400 KidsCan partner schools:
• 84% said families are under high or extreme financial pressure
• 79% said hardship is worse than this time last year
• More than half expect student need to increase further this winter
Urgent support is needed to help KidsCan provide more food to children arriving at school hungry this winter.
