Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) is an independent charity working to eliminate child poverty in New Zealand through research, education and advocacy.
In a country like New Zealand, with ample resources, child poverty could be eliminated completely. Its all about Choice.
Everyone agrees children need the right conditions to grow into healthy adults. Children thrive when they have the basics: nutritious food; a warm, safe home; medical attention if they are sick and a good education. Sadly, too many children in New Zealand don’t have the basics.
We speak out on behalf of the thousands of children (260,000) in New Zealand whose meagre standard of living compromises their health, education and well-being.
CPAG works to protect children from needless poverty, because a child’s potential is a terrible thing to waste.
The Child Poverty Action Group was formed in 1994 out of deep concern for the rising level of poverty in New Zealand and its effects on children. CPAG has over 2,500 members and supporters across New Zealand including leading academics, doctors, teachers, health workers, community workers and many other people concerned about the poorest children in New Zealand society.
CPAG has regional networks in Whangarei, Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin. We also work closely with other child-focused organisations.
]]>What we do We work closely with families to help them find their own solutions, so they can:
deal with their problems
make the changes they need so their children will be safe and well cared for
achieve their goals for the family.
When children need secure, loving, long-term homes, we’ll work with family and whanau, caregivers, and adoptive parents to find them one.
When young people offend, we want them to get back on track and make good decisions in the future. We’ll organise a conference for the young person, their family and the victim of their offending to meet and talk about the impact of their actions. We’ll then help them get back on track for a successful future.
We partner up with hundreds of social services providers to get the message to communities – together we can help all our children be safe, strong and thrive!
