Help us get youth vaping on the election agenda!

$5,473 of $25,000 goal
Given by 56 generous donors in 22 days

Help Vape-Free Kids NZ make youth vaping an election issue - our kids deserve better protection from nicotine addiction.

Nationwide

Tens of thousands of young New Zealanders are addicted to vapes. Some wake up in the middle of the night to vape, for some it’s their first thought in the morning. But the desire to quit is there for NZ’s youth: 60% of 14-15-year-old daily vapers tried to quit in the past year.

Vape-Free Kids NZ has been given the opportunity to do something about it, something bigger than anything we've done before. And we need your help to make it happen!

We can’t tell you exactly what we’re planning yet - it needs to stay under wraps until launch! But what we can say is that seriously talented people have come on board, and an extraordinary amount of professional expertise and resources have already been donated.

The idea is ready. The people are ready. The opportunity is there.

All we need now is a final funding boost to cover the remaining costs so we can pull the trigger.

But timing matters! We have a chance to get this issue in front of New Zealanders at a critical time. We need your help now to launch this ahead of the Election.

Vape-Free Kids NZ has always been powered by ordinary people who believe our kids deserve better. If enough of us get behind this, even small donations can add up to something incredibly powerful.

Please help us make this happen by donating now.

And please share this page with your friends, whānau, workplace - anyone who believes in protecting young people from nicotine addiction.

Let's get this issue in people's minds heading to the Election!

Thank you!

Kia ora amazing supporters!

A HUGE thank you for your generosity - we've reached $5k already!

As a small voluntary organisation we know we can't do this on our own - we appreciate ALL your help!

Speaking of help - we are so excited to let you know that Paddy Gower has just filmed a video encouraging people to support this campaign. Thank you Paddy! We've added it to the front of our Givealittle page, and you can also check it out here: https://youtube.com/shorts/mBcgiI3o6sI?si=WKcRRBQlGVzE7iOU

We've made a great start reaching $5k already BUT we need to keep raising more funds to reach our goal, so that we can launch this campaign before the Election.

Can you do ONE more thing to help us reach our target?

Can you share this page with all your contacts so they can see Paddy's video and lend their support?

Thank you again for believing in our campaign. Let's get this launched so we can protect Kiwi kids and future generations from the harms of vaping.
