Support The ChildFund Water Run

Help bring clean water to children in the Pacific.

Efeso Collins

Our beautiful friend, Efeso

Efeso joined the ChildFund Water Run because he's driven to support the Pacific and because he believed in the cause.

Before the race we spoke about how hard it is to put yourself and family first when you commit to a life of service.

Now he is gone suddenly. And our hearts are breaking for his wife Fia, his two girls, and his family.

Aotearoa New Zealand and the Pacific have lost a leader who found his strength in the community, who would've continued to make our region, and world, a better place.

In life and in rest, you bring us together, Efeso.

Amuia le masina e alu ma toe sau. Blessed is the moon, for it shall return.

OUR APPROACH

Self-reliance is the ultimate goal

It takes a holistic approach to help children thrive. We build meaningful relationships in communities and collaborate 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.
