We’re thrilled that you’re keen to help us out! Endometriosis New Zealand relies on our generous community across New Zealand to continue to provide unique and professional services and programmes to improve health outcomes for those living with endometriosis and persistent pelvic pain. We don’t receive any government funding, so it’s people like you who make all this possible.

Every dollar raised and every step taken helps us support people affected by endometriosis and work towards a future where endometriosis is better understood and diagnosed sooner.
Natalie and Evie took on the challenge of climbing the highest peak in the Tararua Range and shaving their heads into skullets to raise awareness and funds for Endometriosis New Zealand.
Inspired by friends and family living with endometriosis, they wanted to help address the lack of understanding around the condition and its often invisible impact.
Their incredible fundraising efforts raised over $5,500 to support ENZ’s work in education, advocacy and community support, helping improve understanding and care for those affected by endometriosis.
The Donna May Photography photo book project will feature portraits of 50 everyday female motorcyclists and their families, highlighting the people and stories behind the helmets.
Inspired by the average of 50 motorcyclists killed on New Zealand roads each year, the project aims to encourage drivers to ‘Look Twice’ and see motorcyclists as more than just riders. It will also challenge stereotypes, celebrate women in motorcycling and inspire others to follow their passions.
All application fees from the project are being donated to Endometriosis New Zealand to continue our work in education, advocacy and support for those affected by endometriosis.
Arshia Jaiswal, 17, hosted her first market stall in Christchurch to raise awareness and funds for Endometriosis New Zealand.
Inspired by her own experience with polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), her mother’s experience with adenomyosis and the lack of understanding around women’s health, Arshia created herbal blends through a Young Enterprise project and turned her passion into a fundraiser.
Her Givealittle campaign, ‘A diagnosis is the bare minimum’, aimed to raise awareness of endometriosis and support ENZ’s work towards earlier diagnosis, better understanding and improved care.
Jenna has committed to running six marathons in three years across New Zealand. “This challenge is about more than the distance. It’s about using every race as a chance to start conversations, share stories, and raise awareness.
Running marathons is my way of showing that what seems impossible can be achieved with persistence, resilience, and the right support just like the fight so many people face daily with endometriosis.”
“For me, this cause is deeply personal. My mum, sister, both of my nans, aunties, and I have all been impacted by endometriosis. I’ve grown up seeing the toll it takes, the pain, the exhaustion, the uncertainty and how often it is misunderstood or dismissed.”
