ChildFund New Zealand

For more than 80 years, ChildFund has been making the world a better place. A lot has changed since 1938, but our purpose has stayed the same: we help children and youth thrive. We work in just a few developing countries, providing a deep level of support in the communities that need it most, over several years. Our integrated approach to change gives each community we work in the resources, skills, experience and support they need to make positive change. We work closely with our supporters, local partners, families and the community to create better lives for children. We create a well-planned Road Maps for change in our dedicated communities, so that everyone knows the plan and helps to make it happen. We work alongside communities, helping local families to achieve independence. Once they have, we stay in touch if they need help. Our registered charity number is: CC10081
