a Year of
Practical gifts for people
who really need them. $50
Do you want to be the proud owner of a Herd
of Goats? Or what about a Clutch of Chicks,
a F lock of Sheep or a Newborn Nursery?
For example;
$50 for a Goat x 12 months
=A whole herd of GOATS! $50
Rather than buying a one-off gift, with a Year of
Gift for Life you commit to buying a gift
every month for 12 months. By the
time you are done, you have made a
significant contribution to a project
in the developing world... CONTACTS:
