Animals and agriculture

World Vision gift of chicken and eggs

1. Chickens and eggs
$10

Did you know a pair of chickens can produce up to 1,000 eggs a year? That’s an excellent source of protein for growing children. When you give a family chickens, you’re enabling them to put nutritious food on the table and create a sustainable source of income for themselves.

Give a gift of a goat

2. A goat
$40

Donating a goat is a truly unique gift, even though it might seem a little difficult to wrap. Female goats can produce up to 16 cups of milk a day. Any surplus milk can be made into cheese or yoghurt to sell for income. A female goat can give birth to one or two offspring every year – no kidding.

World Vision gift of fast growing seeds

3. Fast-growing seeds
$10

We all know it’s important to eat all your veggies. Donate this gift of specially selected seeds to help parents provide vital nourishment for their children, with rice, carrots, peas and potatoes for a healthy start in life.

World Vision gift of a fish farm

4. A fish farm
$30

There’s nothing fishy about buying a gift that provides an excellent source of protein, vitamins and minerals for growing children. There’s also the added benefit of giving struggling families an opportunity to develop an extra source of income when you donate a fish farm as a gift.

World Vision gift of a pig

5. A piglet
$50

Your gift of one little pig can very quickly turn into a farm of pigs. Pigs are one of the fastest-producing livestock with sows delivering up to 12 piglets in a year. Give a piglet as a gift and you provide a family with an additional source of income, not to mention natural fertilisers for growing healthy, abundant crops.

Fight climate change

World Vision climate change gift

6. Combat climate change
from $5

It doesn’t cost much to save the planet. Your gift will support world-leading climate work such as reforesting barren land, teaching farmers new planting techniques, and creating a new generation of climate smart children.

Clean water

World Vision gift of clean water

7. Clean drinking water
$60

It’s pretty simple really, clean water helps to bring good health to struggling families. Dirty water is common in developing countries, but by digging wells and building boreholes, communities no longer risk contracting deadly waterborne illnesses.

World Vision gift of water and sanitation

8. Water and sanitation
$150

Clean water that is safe to drink and toilets for improved sanitation mean that communities are at less risk of contracting serious waterborne illnesses. In sub-Saharan Africa, Central and West Africa, Indonesia and Myanmar, the need for clean water and sanitation is acute, and remains key in breaking free from poverty.

Education

World Vision gift of school pencils

9. School pencils
$5

The pen (or pencil in this case) is mightier than the sword, helping kids to write and draw their way to a future full of opportunity. Most schools in poor communities struggle to provide students with the most basic of learning tools such as pencils and exercise books.

World Vision gift of school books

10. School books
$30

Learning materials like books often become treasured possessions and mean so much to children with so little. Harnessing this eagerness to learn is one of the best ways for children to reach their potential, get a job in the future and provide for their families.

World Vision gif of providing a bicycle to a girl

11. A bicycle for a girl
$100

What child wouldn’t love a bicycle? Give it to a young girl in poverty and you’re also giving her the gift of safety and independence. Having a bicycle means she can cycle to school or fetch water without having to walk long distances by herself. A bicycle is… simply awesome!

World Vision gift to send a girl to school

12. Send a girl to school
$140

Many girls in developing countries are unable to continue their education beyond the age of ten, forced into work, and often into early marriage by the age of 15. By supporting a girl’s education you can help her to finish school and earn a decent living, breaking the cycle of poverty.

Emergency

World Vision gift of blankets to keep warm

13. Blankets to keep warm
$15

When you’re shivering in a bone-chilling winter, when you’ve lost your family and friends, when you’re staying in a makeshift tent – something as simple as a warm, soft blanket can bring so much joy. Give the gift of comfort to a child in a harsh, cold world.

World Vision gift of toys for comfort

14. Comfort toys
$20

All children love toys but they are particularly powerful for children who have been through conflict and natural disaster. Your World Vision comfort toy is specially chosen to soothe and offer relief to a child as they go through this difficult time.

Empowering women

World Vision gift to help a woman start a business

15. Help a woman start a business
$50

By equipping a woman with skills, knowledge and access to low interest loans she can start a small business. In time she can provide for herself, her family and other women in her community, directly addressing gender inequality.

Health

World Vision gift of childhood immunisation

16. Childhood immunisation
$30

It may be standard here in Australia, but life-saving immunisations for children are still not available in many developing countries. Your gift of childhood immunisation can save precious young lives from extremely preventable diseases such as polio and tuberculosis.

World Vision gift of mosquito nets

17. Mosquito nets for a family
$20

Buzzing mossies are more than just annoying - in developing countries they’re deadly. These repellent-treated mosquito nets drastically reduce the threat posed by malaria-ridden mosquitos. Plus they help children and their families get a great night’s sleep.

Fight famine

World Vision gift of emergency food for children

18. Emergency food for children
