Easter Gifts that Change Lives

Swap chocolate for SCIAF Real Gifts this Easter and help us to give someone living in desperate poverty a fresh start.

Spring is in the air and to celebrate, we have launched an exciting new range of poverty-fighting Real Gifts including Sheep (£30),Training for farmers (£18) and Junkyard Jewellery (£15) – a gift which teaches people living in slums in Cambodia to make bracelets and bags from recycled materials instead of trying to earn a living by picking waste from rubbish tips.

SCIAF’s Frances Rayner said:

“SCIAF Real Gifts make a cracking alternative to traditional Easter presents. Why not swap some of your usual chocolate for a Real Gift this Easter and give a fresh start to someone living in poverty. Real Gifts bring lasting change by giving communities the tools, training and support they need to lift themselves out of poverty and build a brighter future.”

When you buy a SCIAF Real Gift, the money you spend goes directly to a SCIAF project which provides your chosen gift as part of its work. Every Real Gift comes with a beautiful card and fridge magnet to show how your gift is making a difference.

The new range of Real Gifts also includes A helping hand for Haiti (£35) which gives people who lost everything in the earthquake the support they need to get back on their feet, and a Disaster rescue pack (£200) to help SCIAF act immediately when hurricanes, floods and earthquakes hit.

When disaster strikes, emergency aid can mean the difference between life and death. This gift could help rescue people trapped beneath collapsed buildings or provide emergency shelter for families that have lost their homes, life-saving first aid for people who have been injured or essential supplies of food and water.

Carmen Charles was at home with her three daughters when the earthquake hit Haiti. They managed to escape just before their house fell down. Today, they are living in a makeshift camp where they receive emergency food rations.

She said: “We need the supplies we are given here. It is so important. We are so happy to get it. As long as you are alive, you always have hope. I still have my children, that is a blessing for me and Haiti will live again.”
