Endometriosis NZ 13 April 2011

Endometriosis affects at least 1 in 10 girls & women, is familial, non-discriminatory & estimated more prevalent than the combined numbers with breast & prostate cancer, diabetes I & II & AIDS in 15-49 age group. Symptoms are debilitating impacting on quality of life & affecting schooling, career, relationships, mental health and compromising fertility. Awareness & symptom recognition is poor eg 8+ year diagnostic delay. There are no NZ treatment guidelines which can mean hit & miss treatments & misdiagnosis. It is a huge fiscal & human burden costing NZ millions in absenteeism & 11 working hours per woman/week in lost productivity. Your DONATION helps!

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.
