Put your faith into action today

You’re in the right place if you want to help people lift themselves out of poverty. For over 50 years, Tearfund has connected New Zealanders with opportunities to make a lasting difference in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities.

The most powerful solutions already exist within these communities. Local leaders have the vision and ideas. Your support provides the resources to turn them into lasting change.

When disasters strike, supporters like you help equip emergency responses and support communities to recover. More than 7,000 New Zealanders sponsor a child, while others help tackle modern slavery or create pathways out of poverty through farming and enterprise.

However you feel called to help, there’s a place for you to make a difference.

Poverty should have ended with our generation. It still can. It needs prayer, action and obedience to God’s call to truly love our neighbour.

Ian McInnes, Tearfund CEO
