Liam Lawson Donates $5 Million to Build Shelter Homes for Homeless Children
April 28, 2025 – Auckland, New Zealand —
Formula One star Liam Lawson is making headlines off the track with a major act of generosity. The New Zealand native has pledged $5 million to build new shelter homes for homeless children across New Zealand, a move that has inspired fans and community leaders alike.
Through his newly launched Liam Lawson Foundation, Lawson aims to provide safe, supportive environments for vulnerable youth. The funding will go toward building state-of-the-art facilities in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch, with each shelter offering not just a bed, but access to education, healthcare, and counseling services.
“Every child deserves a safe place to call home,” Lawson said in a heartfelt statement. “I’m honored to be in a position where I can help make that a reality for some of the most vulnerable members of our society.”
Construction on the first shelter is expected to begin in the coming months, with doors opening early next year. Lawson’s foundation is partnering with local child welfare organizations to ensure the project has long-term impact, focusing not only on immediate shelter but also on providing the tools needed for children to thrive.
The move has been praised across the sports world and beyond, with many calling Lawson’s donation one of the most impactful acts of philanthropy by a young athlete in recent years.
While Liam Lawson is best known for his speed and skill behind the wheel, his latest move shows he’s racing toward an even greater purpose — changing lives and giving hope to children who need it most.
As Lawson continues his journey in Formula One, he’s proving that real greatness isn’t just measured by trophies, but by the lives you lift along the way.
