About Me

Hello and welcome to the TEAR Fund NZ Myspace page!

TEAR Fund represents the compassion of Jesus. For over 30 years we have worked through child sponsorship, microenterprise, community development and disaster relief projects throughout the developing world. Assistance is provided regardless of the religious beliefs of recipients.

We partner with local Christian aid and relief agencies in developing countries, rather than running our own programmes. Our partners use local staff who work directly with the poorest people, helping them find their own solutions, cutting out the middleman and reducing costs. Our key activities are child sponsorship, Microenterprise, and community development projects and disaster relief.

Be sure to visit our website at WWW.TEARFUND.ORG.NZ .
