About us
Big Brothers Big Sisters equips Mentors with the ability to ignite potential and build resilience in young people all over Aotearoa New Zealand.

Congratulations on turning TWO! We have been so grateful for this initiative and would like to say a massive thank you for your support via One Good Kiwi. Well done! Such a great team to work with too. One New Zealand
This month One Good Kiwi has turned 2 years old! 🎂 And what does that mean?! A whopping $2.4 MILLIION has been donated to over 100 youth charities all across Aotearoa! Here's some of our favourite highlights from the last 2 years: · The Cake Detective Charitable Trust – One Good Kiwi funding has paid for 595 birthday cakes for kids who would ordinarily go without one on their birthday. · John Walker Find Your Field of Dreams Foundation – has provided 1640 free water safety sessions including instruction, transport, lane hire, entry fee and progress tracking. · Nurturing Families NZ - the funds have gone towards the purchase of second-hand bassinets, cots, prams and car seats. It has been able to help over 400 children with the One Good Kiwi money so far!

TODAY'S THE DAY!! Kiwis everywhere are wearing their ‘short shorts’ and texting STUBBIES to 4462 to help ‘shorten the waitlist for tamariki waiting to join the Big Brothers and Big Sisters programme’. A BIG Aroha to #sandscribers who started this important day off with something really special. It was a pleasure to meet Aiyanna and Wayne and hear their story again reinforcing why this mahi is so important for our young people’s wellbeing and future. #bringbackstubbies #showthemthelove #letthemshine #youthmentoring
