Our mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilising the power of humanity and enhancing 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 people who are older, ill or living with a disability, 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 191 countries, we reach more than 150 million people each year.

When people face disaster, crisis or vulnerability, Red Cross is there. Whether here at home, across the Pacific or around the world, every donation helps deliver vital humanitarian assistance when it matters most.
