Paraloan is a New Zealand charitable trust with over 50 years of experience providing low interest loans to people with physical disabilities. Our foundation was established in 1973 as a result of a national appeal to set up a trust fund on behalf of people in New Zealand with physical disabilities.
One of the greatest needs of paraplegic and physically disabled persons is access to low-cost finance to help them become self sufficient and independant.
The concept of self-help, rather than charity, was one of the strong points of the original appeal which set up Paraloan and still holds good today.
