Help Us Print NZ’s First Surgical Menopause Booklet
Fund the printing and distribution of surgical menopause booklets so patients can access them in healthcare settings.
Nationwide
Surgical menopause happens when a woman’s ovaries are removed, often due to cancer risk, endometriosis, or other serious conditions. The hormonal change is immediate, and the physical, emotional, and mental impact can be overwhelming.
In Aotearoa, there’s currently no dedicated printed information for women going through this life-changing experience. Many are left unsupported when they need clarity and care the most. We’re working to change that.
Surgical Menopause New Zealand Trust, a small, woman-led charity, has created the first surgical menopause booklet in Aotearoa. It's clear, supportive, evidence-based and grounded in lived experience - the resource we wish we’d been given ourselves.
Your donation helps:
- Print and distribute booklets to clinics and hospitals so patients can access this vital information
- Ensure women have a tangible, high-quality resource when navigating surgical menopause
- Any extra donations will support other printed materials or help cover day-to-day running costs
Every donation helps make surgical menopause more visible and understood, helping women feel seen and better equipped to manage their health.
Donate now to help us reach every patient who needs this resource. Thank you!

When life gets in the Way 23 January 2026
Sometimes the best-laid plans meet real life.
Over the past few months, our small team has been navigating some unexpected life challenges. As a result, we haven’t been able to give this campaign the time, energy and visibility it truly deserves. Rather than quietly closing it early, we’ve decided to extend the Givealittle page through to the end of April.
This extension gives us a chance to see whether we can attract a little more support over the next few months. That said, we also want to be transparent: if what has already been raised ends up being the final amount, that’s okay too.
Every dollar raised will still be used as intended. We’ll simply print as many booklets as the funds allow, ensuring they reach people who need clear, honest information about surgical menopause.
Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, or supported this work so far. Your belief in this project means more than we can easily put into words.
