Our Mission: I Got Your Back Pack (IGYBP) is a non-profit initiative and registered NZ charity that was established in 2016, in support of Women’s Refuge. We now also partner with both Shine and Shakti safehouses and support other independent shelters on a case-by-case basis. IGYBP provides emergency care packs filled with practical and essential items to the most critical cases of women and children (survivors of domestic violence) going through refuges nationwide, We also provide men’s and age specific babies packs. Why Care Packs? Most families in crisis circumstances have had to leave their homes with very little (if any) personal possessions. I Got Your Back Pack believes that gifting a care pack filled with practical and essential items to each parent and child staying in a safehouse, goes a long way towards easing some of their distress and provide, especially for the children, some much needed positive and comforting distractions in these early days of upheaval and change within their lives. We receive powerful testimonies from both the recipients of our packs, and the managers of the safe houses - so we know we're making a difference to those who need it.
