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
