Gifts that Change Lives
This gift program enables you to share your holiday gifts with other less fortunate people around the world, to make a permanent difference in their lives. It is a great way to remember others in our larger human family.
Take a look through our catalogue and find a gift that you would
like to share. The gifts are small parts of our projects,
including items such as maternity kits for village midwives in
Burkina Faso, small business loans for women in the Philippines,
and fruit trees for farmers in Haiti.
You can designate the recipient and add your personal greetings
if you like. For each gift we will send an attractive card to
that person, informing him or her of your kind gesture along
with your greeting.
