We are a New Zealand Registered Charity. Our charity organization raises funds for children in need in many centres of New Zealand.

You can read about how we help special needs children on the Children We Help and the Events page.

You will be aware that there are many children in local communities throughout New Zealand who may have some disability requiring special needs, whether physically, mentally or both.

Because the trend over recent years has been one of "user pays" on many occasions the parents of these children are under an enormous financial burden and the children miss out. Also, because many of these children have been relocated due to for example, a hospital closure, this adds extra stress on to the parents and children.

Hope for Children also works with many organizations you have heard of, like Lions Clubs, Rotary Clubs and community groups. We have built up a relationship of trust with these groups over the years who are happy for Hope for Children to raise funds for their annual projects. You can read more about the organizations we work with on the Organizations page.
