Variety Gold Heart Scholarships

Each year Variety helps around 20 talented Kiwi kids to reach their full potential and overcome personal challenges with a Variety Gold Heart Scholarship. These young people, who already excel in the arts, sports or education, are awarded financial support of up to $5,000 and are matched with a mentor to help them achieve their life goals.

This support is available for up to three years to help children who are physically or financially challenged fulfil their dreams. This could include assisting with tuition fees, personal development, coaching, the purchase of training equipment, travel or accommodation.

No more injections for Edward

Most adults can't imagine having to inject themselves, but before 9-year-old Edward from Dunedin received his insulin pump from Variety - The Children's Charity, he had to give himself up to eight injections a day.

Variety helps multi-talented boy reach his dream

Emman Rahimi is a talented soccer player, swimmer, actor and singer who applies himself to everything he sets out to do with enthusiasm. Variety has helped Emman achieve his goals over the past couple of years under the Future Kiwi Kids programme.

Trike helps Kylie do what other kids do

Most 10-year-olds take riding their bike for granted. Kylie, who cannot ride an ordinary two-wheel bike, is now able to join in the fun with friends and family on her specialised trike, thanks to help from Variety.
