It’s often hard to think of an original gift to buy family and friends at Easter instead of the usual choclates and flowers. Gifts in Action offer you the chance to buy unusual and thoughtful gifts for your family and friends – whilst also helping poor communities gain the skills and knowledge to claim their rights for themselves.
The situation couldn’t be more different in the developing world where so many people live without a proper home, nourishing food, clean water and other essentials. These are recognised as basic rights, but continue to remain far beyond the reach of many of the world’s poorest people. Gifts in action offer a host of virtual gifts starting from £6, which include –
- Stove – £6
Energy saving stoves retain heat for longer, require less firewood and are also better for the enviroment too. - Cocoa Seedlings – £8
Helps provide poor farmers with disease-resistant seedlings and fertilisers to build a thriving livelihood. - Goat Breeding – £14
Their milk helps nourish that family and the remainder is sold. When kids are born, some are kept to grow the herd. Others are sold so the family can buy tools and seeds. - Classroom Equipment – £25
With a blackboard, chalk, pens and pencils, children can gain the skills that can offer them a better future. - Beehive – £75
By providing hives, protective clothing and training, women can harvest honey to sell and provide for their family. - Donkey & Cart – £174
Great for transporting produce to market to earn more money, and can help their children to go to school.
By purchasing a charity gift from Action Aid, you can be helping less fortunate people to help themselves. Your chosen recipient will also receive a card or e-card illustrating how your present will be used this Easter. It’s the gift that keeps on giving…
