Giving a voice to Kiwi kids with Down syndrome

Since 2003, UpsideDowns has been providing essential speech and language therapy (SLT) for children with Down syndrome across New Zealand. Founded by dedicated parents, our mission is clear: to ensure every child can communicate and thrive.

Why Support Us?

Many families lack access to individualized speech therapy through the public system. Without UpsideDowns, these children face significant barriers. We receive no government funding, relying on donations to raise $350,000 annually.

Our Impact

We currently support over 300 children in every region of Aotearoa. SLT equips them with the skills to communicate, learn, and succeed in life. Your support transforms futures.

Join Our Mission

Help us reach more families and provide essential therapy. Together, we can build a brighter future for Kiwi kids with Down syndrome.

Donate today and make a difference that lasts a lifetime.
