They are our friends' children. They are our neighbours' children. They are the children of our colleagues and our acquaintances. They are our nieces and nephews, they are our mokopuna.
They are our children, and they deserve better.
We've developed four solutions to bring 100,000 children out of poverty by 2014.
- Make Working for Families work for every low-income family
- Provide better study support for sole parents and beneficiaries
- Raise the minimum wage to help working parents
- Make sure rental properties are warm and healthy for kids
