About

Borderless has been inspiring change since 2005. We’ve shone a light on the value of older people and inspired a more accessible world for the one in four of us living with a disability. We’ve invested in entrepreneurial women in developing countries and grown humanity in communities in Aotearoa. With every project, we aim to unlock empathy, compassion and kindness through authentic storytelling; tools that we believe help people be better, and do better, in the world.
