Given by 26 generous donors in 17 days

RASNZ Youth works with children and young adults from refugee backgrounds living in Auckland.

Auckland

This December, we need YOUR help to raise $20,000 so that we can continue providing free school holiday programmes, sports teams, social gatherings and family events for children and young people from refugee backgrounds in 2019!

New Zealand represents a safe haven for hundreds of refugee families every year, but children from refugee backgrounds can face difficult challenges as they begin to navigate life in Aotearoa.

Thanks to people like you, RASNZ Youth is there to help.

We provide a safe, accessible and welcoming space for refugee background children and young people to explore issues while engaging in a mix of fun and therapeutic activities. Our dedicated team of staff and volunteers are backed by RASNZ's specialist refugee mental health service, meaning we can provide wellbeing support at every level.

Together, we can empower young people from refugee backgrounds to heal and look ahead to the exciting role they play in building the future of this country.

Thank you for your support!
