At Dove, we believe no young person should be held back from reaching their full potential. However, low body confidence and appearance anxieties can prevent young people from being their best selves, affecting their health, friendships and even performance at school.
Since 2004, Dove has been building self-esteem in young people globally – and by the end of 2020, we’ll have helped 32,000 young people in New Zealand through our educational programmes.
