World Vision Gifts
Build a well, donate a duck or send soccer balls to those in need.
Dec. 15, 2007 — -- A gift catalogue from World Vision, an international humanitarian organization, lets you give extraordinary gifts of hope to poor communities around the world.
Money you donate can help dig a well for dinking water, buy farm tools to help grow food or give soccer balls to children.
One of the most popular gifts is farm animals. These animals can help support an entire village by providing food to eat and manure for fertilizer. They even provide business opportunities, because the family can sell any surplus the animal produces.
Through World Vision, it's possible to send ducks, oxen, cows, chickens, alpacas, goats, pigs and other animals to struggling families to help them sustain themselves. By breeding these animals, families get a renewable source of wealth.
World Vision works in nearly 100 countries around the world to provide disaster relief, food, education and hope, helping to build communities and not just give handouts.
