Meridian Energy: The power to make a difference

Meridian has been putting their energy into reaching Kiwi kids in hardship since 2013. After staff volunteered at a local Wellington primary school breakfast club and saw the real need in the community, they wanted to help even more children. Meridian is one of the leading power companies in New Zealand, generating power from only 100% renewable sources. They are committed to doing good things with their energy.

They have partnered with KidsCan to provide thousands of Kiwi kids with the basics they need to remove barriers to learning because they, like us, believe every child deserves a decent start in life and the same opportunity to learn as anyone else.

“We feel privileged to be part of making a difference in the lives of Kiwi kids living in hardship.” – Meridian CEO Neal Barclay.
