We work alongside schools, community agencies, social workers, and healthcare professionals to provide tailored, flexible support to children in New Zealand.
You can support caregivers in your community with their applications for:
Kiwi Kids Sponsorship:KKS provides ongoing support for children aged from 4 to 17 years. Children on KKS are matched to a sponsor who helps pay for the cost of essential things like clothing, bedding, school uniforms and stationery, school camp and after-school activities like swimming or music lessons.
Individual Grants:An individual grant is a one-off payment. This can be spent on:
- Everyday essentials (bedding, clothes, shoes)
- School costs (uniforms)
- Extracurricular activities
- Medical fees and equipment
- Technology
- Beds and Bedding
Individual grants are given 3 times a year to caregivers of children from 0 to 18 years.
Individual grants are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and are not guaranteed.
If you know a child in your school or community who would benefit from Kiwi Kid Sponsorship or an Individual Grant, encourage their caregiver to apply today.
