We believe that every child deserves to live their dreams - regardless of their background or financial status.

Who We Are

The Red Bow is a global children’s charity based in New Zealand. We help kids experiencing poverty gain access to education and learning opportunities by providing the necessary resources to create a lasting impact, starting with those in New Zealand and Tonga.

With your support, we can make “when I grow up, I want to be…” a reality for every child.

How We Serve

Today, nearly 260 million children and young people around the world do not have access to the education and tools needed to improve their lives. We’re on a mission to change that. 

We partner with local community organisations, learning centres and service providers to understand the challenges faced by different kids and support them with meaningful solutions. This includes providing scholarships, extra tuition or funding to pursue a passion. 

Our Mission

We empower kids around the world to pursue their dreams by providing access to education and learning opportunities.
