Chloe learns fundraising ropes

Six-year-old Chloe Conza appears to be following in her mother’s footsteps and being proactive about raising money for good causes.

Chloe’s mother, Claire, is the woman behind Make Give Live – a group that makes beanies under a ‘buy one give one model’ – for every one sold, a beanie is given to a person in need through Age Concern and Lifewise.

As well as helping Make Give Live, Chloe has chosen her own charitable groups to support and these include local ones such as Gutter Kitties. So far she has sold artwork, jewellery and iced tea to raise funds.

Last month she also gave a talk to her Year 1 class at Whangaparaoa School about sustainability and what children can do to help the planet. This included challenging the class to become single use plastic free.

“Even though we are small, we can change things too and  help make the world a better place,” she told the class.
