FreshStarrt Care Kit Programme

Good health and hygiene isn't just down to the individual, but often due to the society we live in. Through our FreshStarrt Care Kit Programme we aim to bring confidence to kiwi kids who are survivors of poverty or restricted circumstances, and enable them to realise their potential by giving them tools to care for themselves, and to be the very best they can be!

 

Too often the finances of many young families in New Zealand don’t stretch to include the most basic items such as soap, hair shampoo, or toothpaste. RRT has developed this programme to supply Care Kits filled with personal care products free of charge to schools in New Zealand. Students are then gifted their very own pack, to use how they choose best.

Through our Care Kits, we’re pushing for kiwi kids to care for themselves, to have good health, and have great self-confidence, with the aim of increasing their well-being and learning capacities in the classroom and in their community.

"The toothpaste was very minty and the deodorant also smelt nice"
