Help Us Protect Children and Bring Hope to Vulnerable Communities

Operation Zian is a Christian charity dedicated to preventing child exploitation, protecting vulnerable children, restoring hope to families, and sharing the love of Christ with communities in need.

Our work focuses on prevention, restoration, advocacy, community outreach, and supporting pathways to freedom for children at risk. We partner with local churches and community leaders to address the root causes that leave children vulnerable to exploitation, including poverty, abuse, family breakdown, and lack of opportunity.

As our organisation continues to grow in New Zealand and the Philippines, we are seeking a passionate Volunteer Fundraising Manager to help us build the financial support needed to expand our impact. We are also looking for more board members!
