Press Release – Save The Children
Save the Children New Zealand will launch a new programme aimed at providing maternal and newborn services to thousands of families in north-west Nepal thanks to a generous $1million gift in the will of two Auckland siblings.
The new health programme is expected to begin in September and support health facilities and birthing centres in the Nepalese region, with best-practice health and nutrition training provided to health workers and caregivers. The programme aims to reach 4000 children in need.
“The incredible generosity shown by the late Auckland siblings will create a long-lasting legacy for the people of Nepal. Every gift we receive – big or small – is immensely important to us and helps us carry out our lifechanging work for children,” says Save the Children New Zealand Chief Executive Heidi Coetzee.
