New Zealand Red Cross

On the breathtaking shores of New Zealand's West Coast, nestled amongst the lush greenery and vibrant communities, stands a beacon of hope - the New Zealand Red Cross. Established with a vision to aid those in need, our journey began over a century ago, and we have since grown into a diverse organization that provides essential medical supplies, fosters resilience through first aid courses, and offers unwavering support during times of disaster. Our work is deeply rooted in the fabric of New Zealand society, from offering meals on wheels to our elderly neighbors, to supporting refugees as they embark on new beginnings. We are more than just a supplier of medical essentials; we are a catalyst for change and restoration. Our Pathways to Employment program offers opportunities for those seeking employment, providing them with the skills and confidence needed to take their next step. But our story doesn't stop there. In times of crisis, be it a natural disaster or the separation of families during conflict, we strive to Restore Family Links - connecting loved ones separated by distance and circumstance. We are the helping hand that brings hope, healing, and connection in even the darkest of moments. As part of the global Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, we are united by a shared purpose: to alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found. In our local community on the West Coast, this purpose translates into tireless dedication, compassionate service, and a steadfast commitment to making a difference, one life at a time. At the New Zealand Red Cross, we are more than a medical supplies provider; we are your neighbors, your friends, and your allies in times of need. Join us on our journey as we continue to make a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve. Together, we can create a world where every person has the chance to thrive.
