Where your donations are helping
Our focus areas
Water, sanitation, hygiene
Every child should have access to water that doesn’t make them sick, and without walking for hours to collect it. When communities have access to safe water it has a ripple effect – children don’t get sick, they can attend school and learn life-saving hygiene and sanitation practices.
Health & Nutrition
In parts of the Pacific, child malnutrition is a serious health issue. To address this, ChildFund NZ works with local communities to establish school and community gardens, install solar powered freezers to store surplus crops and support mums with infant feeding programmes.
Education
When children have access to education and skills training, they can become the leaders, teachers, engineers and business innovators of tomorrow to achieve not only their own ambitions, but also to help shift their communities dependance off aid.
Safety & Protection
All children have a right to grow up in an environment free of violence and exploitation. Through education and support, communities are given tools to keep children safe - and we actively campaign to stop child marriage. We also provide helplines and safe places for families escaping violence.
Emergency Response
When disaster strikes, it is children that suffer the most. Through our partners on the ground, we’re able to get food, water, shelter and psychosocial support to children that need it most.
