During winter, a bed is a sanctuary from the cold – and diseases that come with it. A bed for Ben, and tamariki like him, would mean a warm and good night's sleep so they can stay healthy and concentrate at school.
With your support, we aim to provide 1,100 children with beds and warm bedding. Donate today to provide beds and bedding for Kiwi kids.

The new stretch of road allows southbound buses to skip the motorway near Greville Rd, where traffic usually comes to a crawl, while northbound buses no longer need to navigate the busy interchange at Constellation Drive and Upper Harbour Hwy.
“This means no time sitting at traffic lights, quicker journeys, and more consistent travel times,” Auckland Transport said.

A $5.4 million pipe upgrade could help prevent sewage from overflowing onto Takapuna Beach.
The upgrade of the 1.6km wastewater pipe, which runs the full length of the beach, began this week and would take until around August to complete, Watercare project manager Johan Gerritsen said.
Recent investigations found the pipe, built in the 1940s, was in urgent need of an upgrade.
“By relining this section of the pipe we’ll extend its life by 50 years and significantly reduce wastewater overflows in the area.”
The work would be done by a self-propelling device, which spins around inside the pipe to line it with plastic.
That would eliminate the need for workers to dig trenches to get to the pipe, meaning disruption to beachgoers would be minimal, road closures unnecessary and the pipe might still be used during the project.
“It’s also faster, cheaper and has a lower carbon footprint,” Gerritsen said.
