TEAR’s Gift Catalogue is about restoring the balance, without stuffing the planet."
TEAR Australia
At [Arguably] The World's Most Useful Gift Catalogue $5 will provide training in fish-pond construction and aquaculture to help improve village food security, boost family health and nutrition and provide a sustainable source of income.
$10 will buy tree seedlings and land-care training which will help a farmer address soil erosion and protect local water supplies. Depending on the variety, these trees will also provide animal fodder, fruit or fuel.
$25 for an organic vegetable garden will provide training for families to grow sustainable and nutritious fruit and veggies without chemicals. Households can save seeds for future harvests and earn an income from selling surplus produce.
For $60 a village health worker/birth attendant can be trained to help women through pregnancy, birth and early infancy. They work alongside the village health workers who provide basic community medical services.
The CAREgifts Catalogue allows you to buy chickens for $15 each. This very affordable CAREgift will make a big difference to a poor family. A chicken that produces tasty eggs will fill the stomachs of children with essential protein all year around. Whichever way you like your eggs, a chicken is the perfect way to say you care to both a loved one and a family in need.
CAREgifts also has a pair of ducks for $45. A great gift for a needy family who can sell the eggs at market and use the rich manure to fertilise their land and improve its yield.
Or a pig for $50 which will have piglets, generating income to build a house, buy tools and seeds, or send a child to school.
A goat for $60 is a life changing gift that provides milk, manure for fertiliser and a small income. And before long, there could even be offspring to sell and money to put the kids through school. A sheep for $157 can have offspring which can be sold to help a family earn extra income and the sheep dung can be used to make rich compost to regenerate soils.
All these animals will need a villager trained in basic veterinary skills, including vaccinations against disease to help important, income-generating animals stay happy and healthy. You can be part of this training for $150.
At Oxfam Unwrapped you can buy a piglet for $35. In the Solomon Islands, this gift will help train communities to care for our little pink friends. In return, these little piggies can give families the opportunity to earn a much-needed income, when the pigs are taken to market.
In Asia a duck for $20 will not only provide families with eggs, they also double as an effective and environmentally friendly form of pest control! These feathered friends eat insects and snails, helping farmers protect their fields.
Chickens are $10 and are one of Oxfam's most popular gifts. And that’s simply because training women in income-generating activities such as poultry rearing gives them the opportunity to earn money for themselves and their families.
You can buy a goat for $39 or a pair of goats for $78. The first female kid is given to another family and the process starts all over again
A donkey for $117 can carry large loads such as water and firewood over long distances and for people getting back on their feet, a donkey can carry supplies to and from market.
A calf for $203 can provide lasting solutions to poverty in many ways. They can provide a family with milk, keep their land fertile with manure and when the calf grows to a cow and has a calf of its own, it can be passed on to another family.
And if you can't decide which animal to give you can choose a Farmer's Pack for $94 which combines a fantastic group of farming friends with piglets, chickens, goats and manure.
World Vision Australia's Smiles Gift Catalogue also has gifts that change lives. Along with chickens for $6; goats for $39 and piglets for $47 you can also buy the alive and kicking package for $105. This one is definitely for animal lovers! A goat, a chicken and a piglet will help a family produce nutritious food and create valuable income generating opportunities. And when the farm work is done for the day, this family will sleep safe and sound under a repellent-treated bed net which will protect them from deadly malaria mosquitoes. And if you want to go the whole hog you can spend $1,197 to fill a stable with a pair of goats, a pair of cows, a pair of donkeys and three little pigs!
