As New Zealand moves through COVID-19 Alert Levels, we urge you to stay safe, keep connected and follow all guidance from the government.

Donate to where the need is greatest

Your support gives hope. It will help provide relief to those in communities affected by disasters, deliver meals to vulnerable people living in isolation, and support to those displaced by conflict and persecution on their journey to settlement in New Zealand. Whether locally or overseas, your donation goes to where the need is greatest, giving hope to those who need it most.
