Help Us Print NZ’s First Surgical Menopause Booklet

$515 of $7,500 goal
Given by 6 generous donors in around 4 months

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!

We’re now focused on getting this vital resource in clinical settings across Aotearoa, so patients can access a tangible, high-quality guide when they need it most.

Thank you for helping make surgical menopause visible and supported!
