Our world needs our help – and we have many ways we can all help!
Please scroll down and have a look at our current needs and ‘pick a need’ to help!
There is something for everyone – from regular sponsorships and providing a meal right through to helping with transportation needs and accommodation.
As needs are met we will cross them off the list. If the item or investment you want to help with is not crossed out, that means we still need your help! Please let us know when making your gift what you would like your gift used for, or we will apply it to the greatest need we have at that time.
Thanks for taking a moment to ‘pick a need’ and the generosity to bridge the gap.

Endowment Funds
Endowment funds are funds put away in a long-term investment where the interest or dividends are used for the purposes of the fund. It’s an ongoing investment pool where the capital is not used but the earnings or some of the earnings are.
It’s a way to ensure our work carries on for future generations and continues strong despite the challenges and changing times we face.
Our proposed endowment funds will form a very strong back bone for the work of Orphans Aid for many years to come.
New Zealand Adoption Support Fund invested and earnings used to assist families in adopting – Amounts of $5,000 to $200,000+ sought
Educational Endowment Fund invested and earnings used for educational purposes for orphans and children in need – Amounts of $5,000 to $300,000+ sought
