Life Education Trust

Life Education has been inspiring tamariki and rangatahi to make positive choices for more than 35 years. As a charity we rely on the generous support of donors, businesses and community organisations to fund our work.

Every year through the Healthy Harold programme Life Education teach more than 220,000 children to embrace healthy choices - learning about their body, relationships and communities, their identity and resilience, food and nutrition, and helpful and harmful substances.

We capture children’s imaginations using technology that shows them the magnificence of the human body, how their brain functions, and what the body’s needs are.

We understand that mental health is critical for children growing up and work with them to build self-worth, resilience and awareness of others.

In secondary schools, Life Education support young people through three Theatre-in-Education programmes. SMASHED informs and educates young people on the dangers of underage drinking, promoting responsible attitudes towards alcohol. SMART$ encourages financial literacy, empowering young people to make positive financial choices. Behind the Scenes explores vaping and social media influence.

Life Education Trust also offers targeted professional development to equip teachers with knowledge and skills to support their students' health and wellbeing.

Your support of Life Education helps us to make a difference to the lives of children and young people in your community.
