UnionAID – workers in New Zealand helping workers overseas

Who we are

Unions Aotearoa International Development Trust (UnionAID) is a charitable trust established by the NZ Council of Trade Unions – Te Kauae Kaimahi to express its solidarity with partners in developing countries struggling to protect and promote the rights of workers and their families.

UnionAID is an independent charitable trust through which New Zealand workers can contribute to international development by supporting unions and workers and their families in developing countries.More

What we do

UnionAID is currently supporting union partners working with Burmese migrant workers in Mae Sot on the Burma-Thailand border, and with Dalit workers in Tamil Nadu, India.
UnionAID works with the Federation of Trade Unions of Burma (FTUB), which provides training and support for Burmese migrant workers in Mae Sot. The FTUB was formed by Burmese workers, who with their families, have fled the military regime in Burma by crossing the border into Thailand. Learning about local labour rights and how to organise gives the workers a chance to move beyond poverty.More

How to help

Donate. In developing countries your donation goes a long way.

Every dollar donated will help workers lift their families out of poverty through training and education projects.

The more you give the more we can do. If you are able to make a one-off donation that is wonderful, but a direct debit or automatic payment is what helps our organisation continue its work.More
