Gift Catalog

What a simple way to change a life forever!

Each gift in this catalog is carefully chosen to provide the maximum impact on a life.  For some, the greatest gift is an animal to provide nutrition for the family, provide fertilizer for the crops, and have offspring for eggs.  For others, the biggest challenge is having tools or equipment to have one's own business or micro-enterprise like carpentry, tinsmithing (pot-making), sewing/tailoring, or welding security doors and windows. 

This catalog offer the most requested items - items too expensive for these orphans and widows to purchase on their own. 
Each of the gifts listed below help break the cycle of poverty by providing nutrition, or skills and enabling supplemental income bringing hope for a brighter future.

Please note that nothing will be shipped to your house!  All products and livestock are purchased in Africa and delivered to the recipients there.
