Asthma New Zealand — Our Charity Partner
Asthma New Zealand is a not-for-profit organisation working to create a healthier New Zealand, where every Kiwi with asthma and COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) lives a full life. MiteGuard is proud to support their work, and Asthma New Zealand endorses MiteGuard's allergen barrier bedding covers.
What is Asthma New Zealand?
Asthma New Zealand is New Zealand's largest asthma educator, and has been fighting for a New Zealand that breathes easy since 1965. They provide free education, training and support to patients, families, and influential community groups such as schools and health professionals, helping people manage asthma and COPD day to day.
Their vision and mission
Asthma New Zealand's mission is to see a 50% reduction in hospitalisation from asthma and COPD by 2029. They work toward this by partnering with health professionals and community groups to make reaching and supporting patients simple — because education is one of the most powerful tools in reducing hospitalisation and improving quality of life for people living with asthma and COPD.
How MiteGuard supports and collaborates with Asthma New Zealand
Dust mite allergen is one of the most common triggers of asthma symptoms, which is why Asthma New Zealand endorses MiteGuard's allergen barrier bedding covers — mattress, pillow, duvet, cushion, and cot covers that are independently lab-tested to block over 99.9% of dust mite allergen. MiteGuard and Asthma New Zealand collaborate directly: Asthma New Zealand sells MiteGuard covers through their own online shop, and MiteGuard is proud to support their work and the community they serve.
