To help, New Zealand Red Cross provided $6.9 million to 179 Canterbury schools, designed to improve the well-being of children by funding a range of school programmes, events and initiatives.
Find out the difference this funding made to both the schools and students in the sixth of our 10 Good Stories videos. These videos show all the ways Red Cross helped one in five Cantabrians recover from the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, thanks to the generous donations of people from New Zealand and beyond.

If you or you know of anyone looking for a loving, affectionate, gentle natured cat, please message me. Evie was rescued from the SPCA after the 2010 earthquakes and I don't really want to take her back there. I would love for her to have a home that can give her the love and attention she deserves ... also knowing that she's actually going to be well looked after, not mistreated or abandoned. Evie is about 8 years old, fixed, micro-chipped and recently vaccinated. Again, if you know of anyone who could take her on, please let me know. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 😢

SEVERE FLOODING IN CHRISTCHURCH IS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE – HEAVIER RAIN MOVING IN.
(PLEASE ‘SHARE’ THE POST – VITAL INFORMATION)
Good afternoon. This is now one of the most severe storms to hit Canterbury & parts of the region continue to be dealt too, with over 150mm recorded in some areas.
Our major concern is Christchurch city, with the ‘Feed zone’ eyeing Christchurch up over the next 6 hours. We could see another staggering 40-50mm in this time frame. Parts of the city are already under water & conditions will only worsen over the next 6 hours. The major concern is the Heathcote River & close surrounds with severe flooding in the area; high tide is around 3:30pm, the worst possible timing.
Keep up to date, with www.cwu.co.nz... – Canterbury’s number one weather provider.
1.03pm: Akaroa Harbour and Little River water supplies are under some stress due to stream intakes being dirty and difficult to treat. Please conserve water until 24 hours after the storm finishes.
