You're helping children overcome poverty
and experience fullness of life.


You're changing the lives of the world's most vulnerable children.


Generous Kiwis like you are helping children of all backgrounds, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender, even in the most dangerous places. Day in and day out, you join forces with our staff, partners and communities to help children and their families break free from poverty. For good.

Child sponsorship empowers children and their communities by targeting the root causes that keep children trapped in poverty. 

Thanks to your life-changing support, together, we partner, plan and work alongside local community members to help build healthy, sustainable communities for children and families. In 2022, We supported 327,800 children including 66,860 Registered Children in 26 communities.

Our community development is transformational, community-based, sustainable, and especially focused on children's needs. 

Children living in communities like Buyamba in Uganda now have a much brighter future ahead of them. Your support has transformed the Buyamba community to be a place where children can realise the fullness of life.
