OUR APPROACH
How we help children and youth to thrive.
How we help children and youth to thrive.
It takes a holistic approach to help children thrive. It takes meaningful relationships with communities and great collaboration with local organisations to implement programmes and solutions that address barriers caused by poverty. The ultimate goal is for each community to achieve self-reliance, where local organisations and families can continue their journey independently.
In our dedicated communities, we consider all the elements it takes to enable a child or youth to thrive. From improving access to clean water, education, and healthcare, to strengthening community systems to better protect and advocate for children.
Our programmes and projects are locally led and locally developed for the best outcomes for kids. We partner with organisations – from the New Zealand Government to regional grassroots organisations – who are just as committed to creating real change.
The world is changing and it's more important than ever before to make sure the solutions we develop alongside our communities have impact that last long after we're gone. The goal is always self-reliance.
Drawing on our deep expertise of development, our programming covers 6 key focus areas. These focus areas reflect the work we do to address key challenges that children and communities are facing all around the world.
