Giving every kid a fair shot at their dreams.

What did you dream of becoming when you were a child?

A firefighter? A scientist? Maybe a professional athlete? 

Every kid has a dream. No matter where they live around the world or what limitations they face, they all have a vision for their future that’s filled with hope. With the right support, children have the power to not only transform their own lives, but their community as well.

At The Red Bow, we enable kids to experience the joy of learning so that they can achieve their goals and build their own path to success. 

Will you help us give kids in need the future they deserve?

Learning opportunities for children who need it most

Today, millions of kids are out of school because of poverty, gender discrimination, or lack of access to basic needs. We’re on a mission to change that.   

The Red Bow is a children’s charity based in New Zealand that helps kids from disadvantaged backgrounds gain access to learning resources so that they can thrive. 

Together with community organisations, trusts, schools and learning centres, we offer meaningful solutions including access to scholarships, extra tuition or funding to pursue a passion. 

We are currently implementing our first programmes for kids in Aotearoa New Zealand and Tonga.

 “Off to School with Ted” Every book gives back

To raise funds for our mission, we’re offering a range of items, starting with our colouring books. Every purchase from our Social Impact Shop helps kids from all walks of life to achieve their dreams. Pretty cool, eh?

  • Why education matters

    Education is more than just going to school so you can get a job. It's about acquiring knowledge and developing skills, insight, and wisdom through various learning experiences.

    We want to provide kids with a good education so they can lift themselves out of hardship.
