Across New Zealand and around the world, children continue to face enormous challenges. Conflict, climate-related disasters, hunger, poverty, exploitation, and abuse are causing unimaginable hardship no child deserves to experience.
Yet, even in the darkest times, as long as there are compassionate people who care, hope is possible for children.
Our vision is a world where every child has the right to survive, learn, be protected, and have their voice heard. When children are at their most vulnerable, when disaster strikes, when war, crisis and poverty put lives at risk, with the support of generous New Zealanders, Save the Children is there.
Whether it’s helping a child continue learning, providing life-saving support, or advocating for children’s rights, every action is made possible with the help of people like you.
A Gift in your Will to Save the Children is a powerful way to continue caring for children in need and create a legacy that lives on for generations. The decisions you make about your Will are deeply personal. They reflect the people, values, and causes which matter most to you.
These thoughtful gifts, no matter the size, help us plan for the future. They protect children from violence and abuse, support education and health, respond to emergencies, and champion children’s rights.
You can help children such as three-year-old Divine*, whose home and community in Uganda were devastated by severe storms. Save the Children helped rebuild her family’s home, and she was able to go back to school.
“Now we are safe, we can even lock the house and go to the market. The catch-up club has helped my daughter because I notice she’s happy to go to school, and returns home happy,” says Divine’s mother, Lydie*.
The support Divine received was made possible because there were people like you, people she will never meet, who believed children like her deserve to learn, have a safe home and be cared for.
By leaving a Gift in your Will, you are making a profound statement about the kind of world you want to help create for more children like Divine. Your legacy can help protect lives, childhoods, and the chance of a bright future by helping to ensure children come first, always.
