Help for Kids Initiative

About Hyundai Help for Kids.

Imagine a world without childhood diseases. A world where every sick child no matter where they live gets the treatment they need, where families can afford to be there to support their kids, day and night. Where they can laugh and love even in the most heartbreaking times.

We created Hyundai Help for Kids to support a range of not-for-profits to do more than just imagine. It comes standard with every vehicle purchased.

Hyundai Help for Kids has gone on to be overwhelmingly successful and nationally recognised as a force for good, and in just eight years it has donated more than $10 million to many charitable organisations. We celebrate just some of those incredible moments here.

The help we bring.

Hyundai Help for Kids supports a range of organisations who’s sole purpose is to help kids in need.
