Now is a pivotal time to support
If you agree that all children deserve to grow up in a safe, caring and nurturing family environment, then you’re in the right place. Every single donation takes us one step closer to a world where more children have the chance to thrive in safe communities.
Your donation is critical and can make a huge difference. Every gift is a contribution towards a system of collective care that helps protect more children.

You’ve arrived at the perfect time
Our work and research to better protect vulnerable children and young people is at a critical turning point!
Join the movement for better, safer care for children, for families who get to stay together and for children who can grow up safely and connected to their community and culture. Every dollar makes a difference.
2026 needs to be the year New Zealand commits to a national child abuse prevention plan and strategy. This needs to honour and support every child’s right to a family, to culture and community and it needs to better support kinship carers, and recognise the role they play in the care system and society.
All of our work is led by locals, backed by a network of member organisations, a collection of global research and informed by conversations with children and families themselves. Help us fuel a movement that supports meaningful system change. Give today!
The message is clear: we must work together to prevent violence against children. Supporting kinship carers at the community level is a key part of the solution. Join us in 2026 as we continue calling for change.
