Good Shepherd
New Zealand
“I didn’t think there was any way out of my situation. Now I feel like I have options and my motivation is returning.”
Good Shepherd is here for women, girls and their families
We help women, girls and their families who are experiencing harm and hardship. We want them to be safe, strong, well and connected.
Our services support people to improve their wellbeing, and drive changes to unjust systems that hold people back. Financial wellbeing is the core of our work.
Many people and families in New Zealand face challenges to their financial wellbeing. For example, they don’t have enough money to live comfortably, have no savings for assets or emergencies, and have debt that is unmanageable and/or unjust. This harms people and holds them back from leading full lives.
