Somewhere not too far from you, a child is missing out on the education that could set him or her up with skills for life.

That child could be living in the next street, or maybe a few kilometres away. Although he or she is enrolled at the local school, all too often there’s a blank in the attendance register. When it’s pouring with rain in the middle of winter, and you don’t have decent shoes or a raincoat, the easy decision is to stay at home. Or maybe there’s no food in the house until the next payday. You can fill up with water from the school drinking fountain but you’re not going to be learning very much that day.

A small regular donation can help overcome these very real obstacles. That’s what the In Our Own Back Yard donation programme is all about.

How it works.

Make a commitment to support a child on the KidsCan StandTall waiting list with a donation of $15 or more per month. 100% of your donation will be used to support a child in need, not for marketing or administration purposes. Once you’re a member we will keep you informed with our bi-monthly newsletter and up to date information on how your contribution is making a tangible difference for New Zealand children. Your monthly donation of $15 will provide a pair of shoes, two pairs of socks, a raincoat and food at school for one child for the year. Where required, the membership will also provide thermals to wear under the raincoat for children in colder parts of New Zealand.
