In New Zealand, it's not uncommon for young kids to attend kindergarten or daycare without having breakfast and bringing a packed lunch – around 27 per cent of Kiwi kids are living in income poverty, according to the Child Poverty Monitor from 2017.

The Community Warriors team and KidsCan delivered raincoats to the students of Bishopdale School to help keep them warm and dry this coming winter.

KidsCan has created the first national programme supporting children under 5, with the aim of helping the country’s most vulnerable kids attend early childhood education.

Students across the country now have an easy, free and fun way to help Kiwi kids in need, as KidsCan and the School Fun Run join forces to launch the KidsCan Fun Run. Schools are invited to organise a Fun-Run, Walk-A-Thon, Family Fun-Day, Mud Run, or any other physical event in June, with all money raised going to KidsCan.
