For more than 65 years, Birthright has been at the forefront of providing crucial support to whānau in need and especially families led by one parent. Single-parent whānau often show incredible determination, resilience, and deep love for their tamariki. They may also face challenges — from financial pressures to the demands of parenting on their own. Some do it alone, while others rely on a strong network of friends, whānau, and community. Our mahi is about enhancing those strengths. We don’t focus on what’s missing — we focus on what’s possible.

Through our network of six regional affiliates, we provide tailored support that uplifts whānau and helps them thrive:

• Parenting Support: Practical advice and tools to build confidence and resilience.
• Housing Assistance: Helping whānau find safe, stable housing.
• Financial Guidance: Navigating entitlements and managing resources.
• Counselling Services: Confidential and compassionate emotional support.
• Community Connection: Peer support groups and local events to reduce isolation.
• Social services: Providing a social worker helping families build resilience, access resources, and create a stable, nurturing environment for their children.
