Stuck for gift ideas for your loved ones this Christmas? ChildFund’s Gifts for Good is full of life-changing gifts that will put a smile of the face of your loved one and help people in developing communities.
The highlight of this year’s catalogue is an Aussie icon that will make a major impact in developing communities in Cambodia and Papua New Guinea. Internationally revered for its durability and reliability, the postie bike has been delivering joy to families for generations.
This year you can Post a Postie to Cambodia or Papua New Guinea, where it will deliver life-saving vaccines, malaria-fighting mosquito nets, clean water and other vital supplies to children and families in remote villages.
Posting a postie ($3,500) is the ultimate way to make a lasting impact across many communities and deliver joy for years to come.
Gifts for Good has something for everyone you are shopping for this Christmas, no matter what they are interested in. Here are six more highlights from this year’s catalogue.
Giving a charitable gift at Christmas is a wonderful thing to do but the choice can be overwhelming! It can help to understand how it all works so here’s everything you need to know about Gifts for Good, an initiative from ChildFund Australia that offers a simple way to transform the lives of children in disadvantaged communities around the world.
Real Christmas gifts that change lives
Gifts for Good are real gifts that are given to children and families to help them on a path to self-sufficiency. They are an essential part of ChildFund’s long-term community development programs, providing the key resources needed to get these programs off the ground. If you buy a dozen chickens, for example, twelve chickens will be given to a family in need, along with training on animal husbandry, information about the nutritional benefits of eggs for their children and even small-business skills to help them generate an income.
How do our Christmas gifts work?
In three easy steps you can give special and affordable gifts designed to make a major impact on children living in poverty. When you select your Gifts for Good, they are delivered to children or families who really need them and you’ll get a beautiful card so you can share your gift with your friends and loved ones.
How are charity gifts selected?
Each gift in the catalogue has been selected on a needs basis. So when you buy a bomb clearance on community farm land in Laos, that’s because clearing unexploded mines and bombs has been identified as a critical need in the communities where ChildFund works.
While gifts relating to education, health care and livelihoods are regularly included in the catalogue, new items this year include:
We’ve also brought back the popular favourites that make a massive impact, including:
How are gifts allocated?
Each gift is allocated to a child or family based on a needs assessment. These assessments are usually conducted in collaboration with the community to decide who is most in need.
ChildFund is committed to supplying the exact gifts purchased to children and families who really need them. If more gifts are donated than a country is able to provide, we reallocate the funds to a similar program.
