We are part of the Global Fellowship as a Supporting Country, our role is to uphold our partners around the world financially, practically, and prayerfully, enabling them to deliver the care and support that is needed.
Staffing and Governance
We have a programmes team that manages our projects in the leprosy-affected countries where we work; a marketing and communications team that fundraises and promotes our work to the New Zealand public; a supporter services team that look after our greatly valued donors, prayer partners, and volunteers; and a finance team who look after everything that is money-related.
The management team sets the strategic direction for the organisation as a whole and keeps us on track to meet our objectives.
