Embracing the Future with Your Legacy
Shockingly, more than half of New Zealanders don’t have a Will. This means that when they pass away, the distribution of their estate can go through a lengthy and complex legal process. It doesn’t automatically go to the next of kin.
This is easily remedied by creating a Will – one of the most important documents of your life.
Planning ahead may seem strange, but formalising your final wishes in a Will is a powerful way to ensure that your loved ones are cared for and your assets taken care of, according to your desires.
Crafting a Will is also about leaving a lasting impact on the world you'll one day leave behind, just like Fred Hollows and his wife Gabi did with The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ.
Fred Hollows: A Legacy of Visionary Impact
When Fred was unwell with cancer, he spoke with his wife Gabi about how they could continue his work restoring sight to those who needed it most. From those early talks, The Fred Hollows Foundation was born.
Though Fred left us many years ago, his work continues today and is amplified through the many eye doctors and nurses trained to restore sight in their communities.
Follow in Fred’s footsteps and create a lasting legacy. A gift in your Will to The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ will help train the next generation of eye doctors and nurses, transforming the lives of the many people living with avoidable blindness across the Pacific.
"We discover our own humanity when we help others."
- Professor Fred Hollows

Our guide shows how your future gift can assist with restoring sight well into the future. You’ll be helping to give people in the Pacific access to the eye care they desperately need, even in the most remote villages.
You’ll also be helping to increase the number of eye doctors, eye nurses, and specialist eye services for those communities that will restore sight to thousands of people.
Leaving a gift in your Will to The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ is an incredible act of generosity and will leave a significant and long-lasting impact to communities, families and people.
It may be the most generous gift of your lifetime.
