FAQs

How to help

The FAQs area has been designed to be a helpful resource for people who are looking for quick reference information on NZAID work and wider development issues.

FAQs on this page are about sharing your ideas, working in the field, and what to do with donations.

I have an idea for the aid programme - who should I contact?

Have a read of the information on our website to check that we are not already doing something similar (or supporting one of our partners to do it). Consider whether your idea fits in with NZAID's strategic priorities, the geographic areas we work in, and the jointly agreed country strategy that covers the assistance we are providing to our main bilateral partners.

You can also find out about volunteering for development work.

If, after a bit of research, you think we should know about it, you can email us on enquiries@nzaid.govt.nz.

I want to help - what can I do?

There are many ways New Zealanders can help those in need. Have a look at our How to Help page for advice.

I have already collected food or clothing for donating - how do I send it?

Although we appreciate how generous Kiwis can be, NZAID cannot assist in transporting food, clothing and other items.

Read our How to Help page for advice.

Can I make a donation directly to NZAID?

If you are a New Zealand taxpayer you are already supporting our efforts, and if you are active in your community in campaigning for the elimination of world and local poverty you are already playing a vital role.

You can help in other ways - check out the advice on our How to Help page.
