Gift Selection:
Training in fish-pond construction and aquaculture to help improve village food security, boost family health and nutrition and provide a sustainable source of income.
Sleeping under a mosquito net is a simple, natural and effective way to assist in protecting a family from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry, such as malaria. No spray-cans required.
No fancy bottles or designer flavours: just simple technology, such as tanks, wells, protected water sources, gravity-fed pipelines or filtration units, to help provide a household with safe water for drinking and washing.
A year of primary or pre-primary education in a community-run school for children who would otherwise miss out due to distance, poverty, discrimination or the need to work to help support their families.
Train a volunteer to home-visit people living with HIV, assist with basic hygiene and domestic needs and counsel and support families. Public education also helps enable communities to reduce the spread of HIV and AIDS.
No computers - and, sometimes, not even desks. Just a dedicated teacher, plus simple learning materials, to give children the opportunity for a quality primary or pre-primary education. Includes teacher training, salary and a year's running costs.
