Give a child the essentials every month by joining our community of regular donors

1 in 7 Kiwi kids live in in material hardship.

Hardship can seriously impact a child’s education. Some are too hungry to focus or take part in activities. Others don’t make it to school at all – their families too ashamed to send them to school without the essentials.

For many, poverty leads to lower educational performance, low self-esteem, reduced job opportunities, and poorer health outcomes.

A gift of $30 a month helps support a child with a fleece-lined rain jacket, quality shoes and socks, and nourishing food throughout the school year. You’re not just keeping them cosy and fed – you’re giving them the chance to learn and build a better future.

Your regular contributions help to fund our programmes in over 1,100 schools and early childhood centres nationwide. With this ongoing support, we stay true to our promise: once we take a school or early childhood centres onboard, we’re there for their kids for as long as they need us.
