Welcome
New Zealand is a proud nation with an incredible history of punching above its weight in the international arena. We are a nation of people who care, and who give.
At KidsCan, we feel it is a great injustice that one in four New Zealand children (source: OECD report) live in poverty, going without the basics most of us take for granted. Our mission is to meet the physical and nutritional needs of Kiwi kids less fortunate than others so they can be more engaged in their education and have a better chance of reaching their potential in life.
The charity was founded in 2005 and today supports the education of more than 4,500 disadvantaged New Zealand children a day, in 279

Our tangible programmes concentrate on giving the basics such as food, clothing, shoes and basic hygiene items directly to children in need in partnership with the schools they attend.
At KidsCan we firmly believe education equals opportunity and we recognise that if children are to lift themselves out of the cycle they and their families are in they need to be able to take advantage of the education they receive at school.
KidsCan operates with funds donated by generous businesses, individuals and the Ministry of Social Development. Each year we also hold a number of fundraising appeals and we have recently started a regular giving programme where caring people can support a child in one of the schools we support for just $15 a month.
We hope you will enjoy reading about our work and we encourage you to join with us to support the education, health and well being of children who are the future of New Zealand.
