Variety helps give disadvantaged Kiwi kids the childhood they deserve

We believe that every child deserves the same opportunities to reach their full potential.

Every day, more than 1 in 4 Kiwi kids go without the basics most of us take for granted. This has a profound impact on their health, education and self-esteem.

With your help, Variety provides disadvantaged Kiwi kids with...

Basic
essentials

The basics that every kid deserves, like warm bedding, clothing and school uniforms

Extra-curricular
opportunities

Opportunities like joining in on swimming lessons, sport or going on school camp

Additional
funding

For children with extra needs like medical and mobility equipment
