Other ways to support us

Put on a bake sale, download teaching resources or nominate a young person for the Fred Hollows Humanity Awards – these are just some of the ways you can make a real difference.

Help out in your own way

At The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ we know that together we can make a difference – and that making a difference takes more than surgery alone. That’s why we have so many ways for you to join our mission to restore sight. As well as our generous donors, people across New Zealand are helping us as we strive to create a world where no one is needlessly blind, through all kinds of activities, including:
  • Community fundraising. When you fundraise for us, every dollar counts towards our sight-saving work in the Pacific.
  • School resources. Download teaching and learning resources to inspire the Freds of the future.
  • The Fred Hollows Humanity Awards. Do you know a young person following in Fred’s footsteps? Our Humanity Awards recognise the efforts of young people creating positive change in the world.
Your support means our Pacific teams can restore sight to the needlessly blind and vision impaired, train local eye health specialists to provide eye care services in their communities, and work with local partners to strengthen local eye health systems so that everyone can access quality eye care.
