Good Shepherd New Zealand

We help women, girls and their families who are experiencing harm and hardship

Nationwide

We help women, girls and their families who are experiencing harm and hardship. We deliver social services focused on financial wellbeing and drive changes to unjust systems that hold people back.

Good Shepherd’s loans, economic harm support and insurance options can make an immediate difference in people’s lives.

Some services provide a safer and/or more affordable alternative to other options. Some give access to opportunities people would otherwise be excluded from. Some help to remedy injustices and/or recover from trauma. All help to build strength, resilience and wellbeing.

Our services are delivered nationwide by an experienced team offering support by phone. We see the whole person, without judgement, and work to support their needs and aspirations

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.

Being through harm and isolation i know what it feels like. To be able to give back is a blessing. I would like to share the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ who was crucified and rose from the dead 3 days later, sits at the right hand of the father and will come again to judge the living and the dead. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son. That whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life". John 16:4 Jesus says "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through him." Jesus is the way. I share this message to give people hope. Knowing that as someone who has been through similar situations I found Jesus.
