World Vision
Supporting Syrian refugee children to reach their potential
World Vision is an international organisation committed to helping children, families and communities overcome poverty and injustice, regardless of their religion, race, gender, ethnicity or ability. Through World Vision NZ, Tax Traders has been supporting families affected by the Syrian crisis – helping them gain access to clean water, safe sanitation and hygiene kits. As the conflict moves into its 13th year, many Syrian children are still not engaged in formal education and are not receiving adequate support to process the trauma they have endured.

Garden to Table
An exciting hands-on food education programme for kids
Too many Kiwi kids are disconnected from nature and know little or nothing about where food comes from. Garden to Table is changing that. All around the country, they help primary school students enthusiastically get their hands dirty and learn how to grow, harvest, prepare and share fresh, seasonal food. In the process children are discovering a love for fresh healthy food, how to cook for their family, and gaining skills that will last a lifetime. Currently Garden to Table has 150 schools and there are more than 200 additional schools interested in joining the programme.
