ChildFund New Zealand works has these core focuses:

  • Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
    Access to safe drinking water, toilets, and hygiene education helps prevent disease and keeps children healthy.
  • Health and Nutrition
    Support helps children and families access nutritious food, healthcare, and early childhood support so children grow and develop well.
  • Education
    Children gain access to safe learning environments, school resources, and opportunities to build skills for the future.
  • Safety and Protection
    Programs help protect children from violence, exploitation, and harm while supporting safe communities where children can thrive.
  • Emergency Response
    When a disaster or crisis strikes, your support helps deliver urgent essentials like safe water, food, hygiene kits, and child protection support. ChildFund works with local partners to respond quickly and support communities to recover and rebuild.
