A Kiwi foundation is helping combat infertility around New Zealand. 

Gingernut’s Angels, founded by Jaimee Lupton, was created with the goal of removing the financial barrier to starting a family. 

It has raised more than $3.5 million and funded 197 grants to help families access IVF and fertility treatments since it was founded in 2024.  

Lupton told Heather du Plessis-Allan that a single round of IVF can cost from $30 thousand to $50 thousand, which is just out of reach for so many families. 

She says it look them five rounds and $250 thousand just to get their daughter.
