What Your Certificate Will Look Like...
Gifts of Hope
Gifts of Hope help vulnerable families in crisis with their basic needs for survival, including milk and porridge for malnourished children, as well as medical care. There’s also an opportunity to help children receive an education, giving them hope for their future and the gift to ‘Fund a Farmer’, offering a way out of poverty, assisting people learn how they can sustainably feed their families by implementing Foundations for Farming (FfF). Plus, new for Christmas 2025, the gift of a rabbit for a farming family, so that its urine can be collected and added to the family’s farming plot. This enriches the soil and can double the size of their harvest!
The Gift of Porridge
Your £8 gift will buy a malnourished child porridge flour so they can benefit from a nutritious breakfast for a month. The porridge is enriched with nutrients and is vitally important for children who are living in poverty. Often they will only eat once a day and sometimes not even that, leading to malnutrition, poor health and development. *
The Gift of Education
Your gift of £35 will provide a primary child with a school uniform and the materials they need, but most importantly the chance to get an education, and with that comes the hope of a better future, free from the grip of poverty.
It’s a life-changing opportunity!
The Gift of Medical Care
Your £20 gift will help alleviate suffering by providing urgent and often life-saving medical care and treatment to those living in abject poverty. In Burundi, most medical care must be paid for. Even seeing a doctor is beyond what the poor can afford, leaving them extremely vulnerable when they become ill. This gift really can help save lives.
The Gift of a Rabbit for a Farming Family
Your £10 gift will help a farming family by providing a rabbit, so that its urine can be collected and added to the family’s farming plot.
By having a rabbit, the farmers can add more phosphorus to the soil, resulting in even higher yields. They should harvest double what they have been getting, which will mean there will be enough of their staple food of maize and beans.*
The Gift to Fund a Farmer, Feed a Family!
Your £50 gift helps with training costs and buys the seed and equipment that a farmer needs to feed their family for an entire year when implementing Foundations for Farming (FfF).
FfF results in far greater yields than conventional farming methods. It gives food for a family, dignity and hope for a better future free from a life of poverty.
The Gift of Milk for a Child
Your gift of £15 will provide a malnourished or undernourished child with a cup of full-fat, highly nutritious milk every weekday for a whole month.
This excellent source of protein is vital and makes a significant difference to their health, development and general well-being.
They absolutely love it!
*Disclaimer: In the unlikely event that we have more porridge gifts purchased than are needed, your donation will go towards other crisis needs.
If we receive more rabbit gifts than are needed, your donation will be allocated to other Foundations for Farming needs.
