Great Potentials
 New Zealand  |  Community/Family

To work for and with children, young people and families to: relieve suffering, release potential, reduce disparities in NZ society, reduce crime and violence, break the cycle of disadvantage, and promote family functioning.

Since 1990 Great Potentials Foundation has developed and introduced initiatives to address family dysfunction and disparities in education. New Zealand’s high rates of child abuse and neglect - among the highest in the OECD - are a national shame. Similarly, this country has the greatest gap between high and low achievers in education in the OECD. Our principles are to be solution focused, working for positive change and acting early and cost-effectively to prevent later high cost negative spending resulting from educational failure, violence and crime.
