Every day, 193,000 Kiwis with vision loss overcome ever-changing obstacles such as tree roots, damaged pavements, abandoned e-scooters, low-hanging branches, rubbish bins and much more

What seems like a simple walk to the shops requires careful planning and extra time. Sometimes, even taking the long way around, just to stay safe.

Every three hours, another New Zealander loses their vision. They shouldn't have to lose their independence, too. That's why Blind Low Vision NZ advocates for safer streets and accessible public spaces. We work with councils and policymakers to create change. Your kindness helps people like Lisa navigate confidently with her "magic" white cane that guides her wherever she wants to go. And Gene, who’s finding freedom with his devoted companion and “guiding angel”, Orion.

Your generosity creates possibilities. Thanks to wonderful donations, Georgia has completed her Master's in Viola and is pursuing her musical dreams. Prue’s saying “yes” to every adventure, from tandem biking to aqua aerobics and the gym. And John is getting his independence back at 75 – with support from Blind Low Vision NZ, he’s learned to cook again and even chops the firewood!


Without your kindness, Kiwis who are blind, deafblind or have low vision would not have access to life-changing tools and support. From guidance to advocacy, guide dogs to youth scholarships – your generous gift will help change lives across Aotearoa. Thank you.

 

Together, we can help New Zealand see streets differently.
