How You Can Help
It's not everyday you get to change a child's future - yet this is what happens the moment you decide to support us. There are three main ways you can help ChildFund New Zealand make a difference in the lives of disadvantaged children.
Child Sponsor
Become a child sponsor for less than the price of half a cup of coffee a day. Your sponsorship of $44 a month goes towards giving your child a better life, with your monthly contribution helping a child get nutritious food, clean water, immunisation and an education. Your sponsorship is inclusive of a $4 Future Fund donation, this fund is dedicated to developing additional programs in new countries, helping find more child sponsors for children in need and education New Zealanders about eradicating poverty.
Project Sponsor
By becoming a Project Sponsor you will be helping ChildFund to fund specific projects in the places we are working. Sometimes this happens right alongside child sponsorship and it is as simple as building a well, or putting a roof on a school. Other times child sponsorship is just not appropriate - perhaps it is supplying food and blankets to children and their families trapped in a disaster zone or trying to help children brutalised by war to find some sense of childhood again. We'll be in touch regularly with stories from around the world and first hand accounts of how you've helped improve the lives of children living in poor communities.
Make a Donation
In times of disaster or conflict it is often the innocent children who suffer the worst consequences. If an ongoing sponsorship may not possible in your situation, you may like to make a donation to ChildFund instead. By making a donation to ChildFund right now you can help children when they need you the most.
