About Us
ChildFund New Zealand.
ChildFund New Zealand.
Since 1938, ChildFund has been working alongside communities worldwide to help children flourish. Through partnership with local organisations and communities, we build sustainable programmes that help children, youth, and their communities reach self-reliance.
Because when every child thrives, the world will thrive.
We work alongside committed communities to deliver community development programmes that prioritise the perspectives of children and youth. This creates environments where children and youth can grow, develop and flourish, free from violence.
Since our inception as China's Children Fund in 1938, we've not stopped working alongside communities to improve children and youth wellbeing by implementing innovative programmes. A lot has changed in 80+ years, but our focus remains the same: we help children and youth to thrive.
We know it takes a community (and working with others) to create solutions that help children and youth to thrive.
We strive for excellence in all that we do and work as one team that is aligned and accountable: we do what we say we will do.
We are curious and learn with an open mind to try bold new things that enhance outcomes for children and youth.
We focus on doing the right thing today and for generations to come. We have grit and courage in our approach to improving outcomes for children and youth. We advocate and act when things do not allow children and youth to thrive.
Our work is centred around helping children and youth to thrive. We work alongside local partners to implement programmes that improve child wellbeing and support communities on their development journey of reaching self-reliance.
Thousands of children around the world are positively impacted by the support of ChildFund and our caring supporters. Through comprehensive plans (Road Maps) we can create lasting change where children and communities can become self-sustainable and thrive.
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.
Our team is a mix of specialists in development, finance, customer service and fundraising. We work closely together to ensure your donations go where they’re needed– to help children and youth thrive.
We are all in this together, which is why ChildFund New Zealand creates partnerships worldwide with a focus on creating sustainable, long-term change for children, youth and their communities.
In New Zealand, we partner with individuals, companies, organisations and the New Zealand Government to create meaningful, lasting change.
Globally, we work with local, regional and international organisations and Governments to implement our Road Map activities. By supporting a community to become self-reliant, children and youth will thrive.
We are a member of the ChildFund Alliance, a global network of 11 child-focused development organisations.
Together, we work to end violence and exploitation against children and to overcome poverty and the underlying conditions that prevent children from achieving their full potential. We work in partnership with children and their communities to create lasting change, and the participation of children is a key component of our approach.
Your donation today will go towards unleashing the potential within every child. Your support enables ChildFund to partner with dedicated communities to ensure children are educated, nourished, protected from harm and have a sense of wellbeing.
