The Good Gifts Catalogue offers presents suitable for every occasion, from birth to death and the fun bits in between.
Every Good Gift is a wonderful expression of affection. And with nearly 200 unusual gifts to choose from, you'll find something for even the quirkiest taste.
Travelling Library - £100 - (Item number 7065)
The trunk is made of steel to repel rats and termites. It´s padlocked to protect its valuable
contents: around 100 volumes of fiction, non-fiction and reference books. It´s constantly on the
move, trundled by donkey or bicycle cart to schools in Somalia, Sudan and
Uganda (all former war zones, understandably short of books).
The supply is refreshed every month.
It´s a story that needs to be told.
Teach a mother to read - £35 - (Item number 5072)
In war-torn areas of Africa (including Somalia, Sudan and Uganda) women have missed out on education. But now they´re able to glimpse a different life, significantly better, where they are able to acquire the ability to read and write. Our village literacy groups offer friendship, achievement and the opportunity to improve the future.
2 pairs of shoes - £15 - (Item number 4033)
In Africa, barefoot children risk hookworm infestation that can retard physical and mental development. We offer a double duty solution: stimulate local trades by commissioning cobblers to make shoes for the children of Africa and save their soles. £15 buys 2 stout pairs of shoes, and in areas where flip-flops are the footwear of choice, you can protect 36 feet by buying 18 pairs of junior flip-flops for £25.
Book Grant - £35 - (Item number 8015)
The trunk is made of steel to repel rats and termites. It´s padlocked to protect its valuable contents: around 100 volumes of fiction, non-fiction and reference books. It´s constantly on the move, trundled by donkey or bicycle cart to schools in Somalia, Sudan and Uganda (all former war zones, understandably short of books). The supply is refreshed every month. It´s a story that needs to be told.
A years schooling - £25 - (Item number 6017)
The value of education is incalculable because it offers the main road out of poverty. In Africa, it costs only £25 to educate a child for a whole year, offering limitless possibilities and a better future. Surely, the bargain of a lifetime.
Loos for African schools - £450 (Item number 8020)
It's impossible to overemphasise the importance of educating girls in Africa. Yet teenage girls, embarrassed by lack of toilets and privacy, stay absent for almost 10% of the school year. £450 can solve the problem by building a toilet block complete with soap and loo paper.
18 pairs of flip flops - £25 - (Item number 7077)
In Africa, barefoot children risk hookworm infestation that can retard physical and mental development. We offer a double duty solution: stimulate local trades by commissioning cobblers to make shoes for the children of Africa and save their soles. £15 buys 2 stout pairs of shoes, and in areas where flip-flops are the footwear of choice, you can protect 36 feet by buying 18 pairs of junior flip-flops for £25.
The price of the gift is passed on to Africa Educational Trust in full. So, it is an excellent way of solving your gift problems, and supporting our work.
