Donations over $5 are tax deductible (email [email protected] for tax receipt). The process of family reunification for refugees is costly and lengthy. Once visas have been issued to the successful few, it is heartbreaking when the last hurdle of securing money for the airfares proves insurmountable. Visas will expire if airfares cannot be purchased. The Trust wishes to ensure that refugees who have been approved for emigration to New Zealand are not prevented from being able to join their families because of a lack of travel funds. Many refugees in New Zealand are alone or separated from family members who remain in unsafe situations overseas. They are desperate about the safety and survival of those left behind and are unable to settle well until they are reunited. Trust funds will be awarded to refugee applicants - as funds permit - whose immediate family members have been assessed and approved by New Zealand Immigration Service as having a valid case for reunification. Your generosity and compassion will ensure refugee families can be reunited.
