Our aim is to show the impact that child poverty has on the children today and how the community can come together to address the real and ongoing issue of child poverty. It is known that many young children in New Zealand go to school hungry, without lunch, without substantial warm or waterproof clothing, or shoes that havent fallen apart.

​

Jaspers goal is to improve the lives of these children by providing them with care packages, these are called 'The Jasper Bag.' These bags contain items such as; sneakers, jerseys, thermals, towels, togs excercise books and toys. Many may take these for granted but for these children it may be the difference that will improve their lives. Every bag will be created specific to each child and the schools needs.
