Family for every child

We believe all children deserve love, safety and support from people who care. We work with local leaders and communities, leaning on learnings from around the world to create systems, laws and policies that protect all children.

Our work is about challenging the status quo at system level. It’s about honouring and supporting all families.

Family For Every Child is backed by a dedicated Board of Trustees and a small but mighty team who keep our members connected and supporters in the loop!

In Aotearoa New Zealand, we have the privilege of partnering and working with incredibly knowledgable, connected and experienced organisations who work to improve the lives of whānau and tamariki.

Through our membership structure, we are able to connect local leaders and organisations with a shared purpose to work together, share experiences and lift each other up to have a bigger impact in the lives of vulnerable children and families. Over the years, this collective work has focused around these issues:   

Keeping children in safe families and out of state care – we work to support kinship care.

Preventing sexual violence against all children, in particular boys and young men.

Helping migrant children find safe communities and reintegrate into families who care for them.

Providing immediate aid to children and families in disasters and emergency situations.
