Inter-Country Adoption New Zealand (ICANZ)

ICANZ helps New Zealanders become parents to abandoned children in orphanages.

Nationwide

We find families for children in orphanages and help New Zealanders who wish to become parents through adoption. Our adoptive families parent children who've experienced a disadvantaged early life in overseas orphanages, transforming their lives through normal life in NZ.

We've made a difference in the lives of over 1,000 children from orphanages. We currently help children in Thailand, India, Philippines and Lithuania and previously Russia, Ukraine and Romania and other countries.

More about us

We believe children grow best in families, that an orphanage is not the best place for any child. Every child deserves a family. Since 1992, we have helped many New Zealand parents realize their dream of providing a home and family for a child in an overseas orphanage through intercountry adoption.

We work under the ethical guidelines of the Hague Convention on intercountry adoption.

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.
