The mission of New Zealand Red Cross is to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilising the power of humanity and strengthening community resilience.

What we do in New Zealand: Across Aotearoa, we support people in need every day — from responding to floods and earthquakes, to delivering meals to the elderly and ill, and helping former refugees build a new life.

What we do overseas: As part of the world’s largest humanitarian network, we provide emergency relief during disasters, conflicts, and crises around the globe. With 13 million volunteers in 190 countries, we reach more than 150 million people each year.

Whether it’s a local emergency or a global disaster, Red Cross is there. Every donation helps deliver disaster response, support for former refugees, and vital community services.
