Save The Children New Zealand Charity Profile
We are a non-political, non-sectarian development agency working to deliver immediate and lasting improvements to children's lives – in New Zealand and around the world.
From emergency relief to long-term development, Save the Children New Zealand helps children to achieve a happy, healthy and secure childhood. We strive for a world that listens to children, involves children and ensures their views are taken into account. Save the Children secures and protects children’s rights – to food, shelter, health care, education and freedom from violence, abuse and exploitation.
As long as there are children in need, Save the Children will find innovative ways to help them survive and thrive. Save the Children is growing and strengthening its capability to fight for children’s rights and to deliver immediate and lasting improvements worldwide.
Our values are based on the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, both of which share the conviction that all people are of equal worth, that children have special rights, and that everybody has a responsibility to make these rights a reality.
The UNCRC requires governments to ensure that children’s rights are respected, and we work with others to advocate this goal.
Save the Children New Zealand is a member of the International Save the Children Alliance, made up of 29 member countries who work together, pooling resources, to carry out joint programmes in more than 120 countries around the world. Together Alliance members implement around NZ$1.3 billion -worth of development projects annually.
