Birthright New Zealand

The focus of Birthright’s services is the children and young persons of one-parent families, although some regions include two-parent and blended families also. We work with the whole family to facilitate the growth of confidence, development of living skills and a sense of independence and self-help within the family unit and its individual members. We believe:

• all children share a “birthright”: the right to a good start in life, help in times of crisis and the opportunity to reach their full potential
• the personal growth and improved circumstances of their parents will enhance this process
• these families can succeed on their own terms, as well as positively contribute to the community.
