KIWI KIDS NEED US

1 in 6 Kiwi kids live in poverty.

Too many Kiwi kids in need are missing out on learning because they’re too hungry, tired or unwell to focus in class. Our Village is made of up caring Kiwis like you who want to change that. Their monthly donations help us to feed and clothe kids in over 1000 schools and early childhood centres daily so they can thrive and fulfill their potential.

Our Charity Work in NZ

187,000 children live in poverty, going without the essentials like food and adequate clothing. We’re on a mission to change that.

Children can’t learn if they are cold, wet and hungry. So we work with schools and preschools around the country to deliver the essentials to children in need so they can get the best possible chance in life.

Our impact

What your support means for a child in poverty.

"KidsCan helped me out so much, with those little things of hope. When it's the only meal you're having a day, or your first new shoes, you can't even imagine the impact that has on kids. It's someone showing you they care about you. Just to feel like someone could see me and see what I was going through is really cool."

A mini event with a huge heart…

Fifty intrepid teams embarked on a road trip like no other, in the Pork Pie Charity Run for KidsCan. Driving their beloved Minis – some more than fifty years old – they travelled 2,500km from Paihia to Invercargill in homage to the classic 1981 movie, ‘Goodbye Pork Pie.’

The difference our programmes have made in those crucial early learning years.

''We have seen a huge turnaround for our children - from being unable to engage in learning to being able to sit and focus. From being agitated, anxious and sometimes aggressive to being calm and having a sense wellbeing.''
