Poverty is a reality for thousands of Kiwi kids. But in over 1100 schools and early childhood centres KidsCan is bringing hope. 

Since 2005 we’ve been providing food, quality rain jackets, shoes, socks and health items to children in need. Essential items which can be a game-changer – enabling children to focus, learn and thrive. And get the education that’s their best chance of escaping hardship.   

Through the generosity of our awesome donor community, we are enabling kids like Verity to fulfil their potential.  

And every little act of kindness counts. Any contribution you can make will help us to sustain our programmes and reach hundreds more kids at the 77 schools and 130 early childhood centres on our waitlist.   

Everyone loves to spread a little aroha, especially at Christmas. So why not gift that opportunity to friends and family?

With a KidsCan Christmas e-card, you can buy an essential item for a child in need on behalf of a loved one. So you effectively give twice.

You wrap a child in support, and you gift a friend the warm glow of knowing this kindness was done in their name.
