Back to School Appeal

Every kid deserves to start school confident, with a uniform and stationery.

Sponsor a child

Be a monthly donor

Sponsor a Kiwi kid today and take the burden off back-to-school costs for a struggling family.

When a child knows their family can’t afford their uniform, or basics like stationery and trip fees, the new school year can be hard. They want to fit in with their classmates, and have a chance to do their best, but they can’t.

As a Variety Kiwi Kid Sponsor you’ll help provide the basics a child needs to go back to school with confidence and a smile.
