Support a NZ Child Today

 

 

Supporting local kids

Equality means having the same status, rights and opportunities as everyone else. Sadly in New Zealand thousands of children live in poverty and this impacts on the quality of their lives and also their chances of reaching their full potential in the future. 

Without three meals a day, warm clothing and shoes, disadvantaged children turn up to school cold, hungry and unable to learn. This makes learning difficult, as they struggle to keep up in class and over time can lead to a lifelong pattern of isolation and underachievement.
 
The great news is now caring people can support a New Zealand child.  Your monthly contribution of $15 (less than 50 cents a day) will enable us to provide a child in one of the schools we support with the essentials they need to get to and through the school gate in a position to learn. Items provided include; a waterproof raincoat, pair of shoes, two pairs of socks and food at school for a year. 
 
100% of your contributions go directly to the kids we support and you can choose where you would like us to direct your donation from one of the fourteen regions we work in. See what current schools say about the KidsCan
