Christians Against Poverty

CAP walks with whānau — partnering with 100+ churches. Free help enables NZers to move from money chaos to financial resilience, with Jesus.

Nationwide

When Wai first called CAP for help she said “The debt made me vulnerable — not even enough for a milk or bread. I felt lost, scared.”

Wai is not alone. Before CAP, 1 out of 2 clients were forced to skip meals… And 9 out of 10 found that the debt affected their mental health.

But with your support, CAP and the local church is able to walk alongside 400+ New Zealanders every week — providing free practical help and hope.

Wrap-around help enables people to start strengthening their relationships with money, themselves, others and God. And because Clients pay back their debt using their own income, people to grow money skills along the way!

2,680 New Zealanders like Wai and Andre have said ‘goodbye’ to unmanageable debt!

👨‍👧‍👦 Wai says — “Now, when there are stormy days — we’re strong enough. The money knowledge in our kete is passing on to our kids.”

Today, when you donate to Christians Against Poverty, you’re providing more than free help. You’re also enabling people to take steps closer to Jesus… In 2024, 6 out of 10 clients like Andre said they felt closer to God than in the past!

👨‍👧‍👦Andre — “Jesus is great, man… what He’s done for me; as a person, a husband, as a Dad.”

*Donate $46 to support a new person to start their Debt Help journey. $126 provides this same help for a family.

Thank you, friend, for releasing a NZer from money chaos.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
