Description

Setting up a small business helps people create an income to support their families, empowers them with a sense of worth and achievement, and provides a service to the local community. This gift helps people establish a small business or other income-generating activity in their community.

This gift includes:

  • A miniature popup shop to assemble.
  • A card with information card on how your gift helps.
  • A blank envelope for your card.
How your gift helps

Tearfund's partners understand their local communities, working at the grass roots to support people to reach their God-given potential. They look at the big picture – working together with communities on a range of activities to address poverty.

By purchasing from our Build a Village range, you’re contributing to our partners’ work in local communities and empowering people to reach their God-given potential.

As a little reminder of your donation, we’ve included a small building for you to put together at home, church or school. You can decorate it, set it up and share it with friends and family.
