Current awareness campaigns

Ā mātau kaupapa whakatairanga

We work to raise awareness of important humanitarian issues, to improve the lives of people affected by conflict and disaster.

Nuclear weapons

Nuclear weapons inflict immense human suffering. We want to ensure nuclear weapons are never used again.

Refugees and asylum seekers

New Zealand currently resettles around 1,000 refugees every year, far fewer than other developed nations.

Arms Trade Treaty

Irresponsible arms transfers make weapons easy to obtain in many countries. Civilians pay the price.

Explosive weapons

Explosive weapons in populated areas

Explosive weapons can have devastating consequences when used in cities and towns.

Donate to where the need is greatest

Your support is a sign of hope. You'll help to meet immediate and longer term needs, whether it’s by providing relief to communities affected by disaster, sending aid workers overseas to assist those made vulnerable by conflict, or helping refugee families resettle in New Zealand. 

or make a monthly donation.
