Everyone knows there are about 4.4 million New Zealanders. Except that’s wrong – there are at least five million Kiwis, including those of us who live overseas.

Even if you don’t live in New Zealand, you count!

Every Kiwi Counts is Kea New Zealand’s global ‘census’ of New Zealanders living offshore. The campaign officially launches this Monday, 18 April – but subscribers to the Kea UK newsletter get first bite at the cherry.

You can be among the first in the world to be counted in Every Kiwi Counts: the survey is live now here. You’ll be doing a good thing for New Zealand by adding to our country’s best information source about New Zealanders overseas.

And you’ll be doing something good for yourself by potentially improving your connections with home, and by going in the draw to win great prizes from Air New Zealand, the All Black and others.

When you’ve finished the survey, use the Tell A Friend button to tell all your Kiwi friends overseas about Every Kiwi Counts. That will make for a better survey – and give you extra chances in the prize draw.
