YOUR VALUES. YOUR VOICE. YOUR LEGACY.
A gift in your Will is one of the most powerful things you can do for human rights. It costs nothing today, and it ensures the fight continues long after any one campaign or generation.
YOUR WILL. YOUR FINAL ACT OF RESISTANCE.
Amnesty International Aotearoa New Zealand doesn’t take government funding for our human rights work. We rely entirely on people like you.
A gift in your Will, whatever the size, ensures we can keep:
✔ Responding to human rights emergencies worldwide
✔ Supporting grassroots activists and Indigenous communities
✔ Fighting to free prisoners of conscience
✔ Holding governments to account — wherever they are
"Because when I go, when I die, all those people are still going to need help. And the little bit I can do, as long as that can carry on in some way, that’s good. If you can do a little bit to help when you’re gone, it kind of makes more point of your life, really.”
— Susan, Amnesty Supporter and Bequestor, Wellington
Just like Susan, you too can carry those values forward, protecting human rights for generations to come.
“ It was a no-brainer. I was constantly writing letters about human rights issues in the eighties. And when I had to write my first Will, of course Amnesty was in it.”
— Barbara, Amnesty supporter
Barbara knows that injustice doesn’t stop and neither should we. She’s chosen to go one step further than just speaking out: to make her commitment part of her legacy.
