About Family For Every Child

Haere mai and welcome to Family For Every Child

We believe all children deserve love, safety and support from people who care. We work with local leaders and communities, leaning on learnings from around the world to create systems, laws and policies that protect all children.

Our work is about challenging the status quo at system level. It’s about honouring and supporting all families.

Our Kaupapa

In Aotearoa New Zealand, we’re coming together to reimagine how tamariki in care and their families, whānau and community are supported. We champion kinship care, ensuring that when children can’t live with their parents, they can still grow up safe, loved, and deeply connected to their whānau, culture, and identity.

Our other focus areas

Through our membership structure, we are able to connect local leaders and organisations with a shared purpose to work together, share experiences and lift each other up to have a bigger impact in the lives of vulnerable children and families. Over the years, this collective work has focused around these issues:   

Keeping children in safe families and out of state care – we work to support kinship care.

Preventing sexual violence against all children, in particular boys and young men.

Helping migrant children find safe communities and reintegrate into families who care for them.

Providing immediate aid to children and families in disasters and emergency situations.
