Raising Hope NZ
Every Kiwi kid deserves to be nurtured and have an equal start in life!
Auckland
Raising Hope NZ is a non-profit charitable organisation that aims to support all children of NZ to have a fair start in life.
This year’s funding is dedicated to supporting the Plunket B4 School Health programme because every child deserves the right to have the best start at school with confidence and support in place.
The B4 School Check is a comprehensive, interactive assessment which aims to identify any health, behavioural, social, or development concerns which could affect a child’s ability to get the most benefit from school. The check covers many social issues such as poor housing, Rheumatic Fever, childhood obesity and family violence to name a few.
In the past the service has been able to offer a school starter pack to encourage and engage at risk families with their service so support can be put in place. There is currently no funding available for the school starter pack which will make it difficult to engage with the families who need it the most.
Your donation will help purchase and distribute school starter packs to deserving Kiwi kids. But it is about so much more than the bag - it is about supporting and encouraging some of our most vulnerable families.
Help us work together to ensure our children’s future!
Your contribution no matter how big or small will make a difference.
More about us
Raising Hope NZ was formed by a group of passionate women who have known each other for over 20 years. Our friendship started at Playcentre with our young children and is as strong as ever today.
Those years for our children have been fantastic and we realise how privileged they have been to grow up in a supportive and nurturing environment. It’s been lots of fun, sharing our lives and now it’s time for us to invest, pay forward and give back to the next generation.
Unfortunately, here in NZ many children do not grow up in a positive and nurturing environment and we want to support those families in need to provide this. It’s time to make a difference so we decided to start Raising Hope with a vision to enable Kiwi kids to have an equal start in life.
This year we have teamed up with the Monty Betham Steps for Life Foundation in an effort to help them raise much needed funds for the work they do in the community with teens and their families working together towards greater health.
Help us work together to ensure our children’s future!
