GIVE A MEANINGFUL GIFT TODAY

MAKE A LASTING DIFFERENCE

When you give a gift from the gift catalog, you are giving gifts that matter and make a lasting difference for families and communities! These carefully selected gifts aren’t the typical gifts given at Christmas, birthdays, or holidays, these are special gifts with the power to make a life-changing impact.

Gifting goats, chickens or vegetable seeds can help families exponentially increase their income making it possible for them to send children to school, access needed health care, or provide more nutritious meals. Gifts for clean water, empowering women, and health will bring about positive change and transform people’s lives. Each gift you give makes a real and lasting difference.

How it Works

How It Works

The majority of FH staff works locally in the countries we serve around the world. The country teams work closely with the people and leaders in the communities to understand their specific needs. Together they plan a wish list based on what they need most such as the tools, resources and knowledge for providing nutritious food, clean water and sanitation, resources to start businesses, better education for their children, spiritual development and more!

We share these gift ideas with you so you can choose how you will support families and communities as they overcome the challenges of extreme poverty. Your gift giving goes beyond helping families, by also supporting local communities. Most gifts you give are purchased within the local community before they are given to families so your giving goes on to have an even greater impact.
