Real Gifts are life changing, inspirational gifts that will mean a better life for someone living in poverty.
SCIAF Real Gifts supply lots of essential items from school books to wheelchair repair kits or different animals like pigs, sheep and goats. They even supply water wells that will supply a WHOLE village with clean safe drinking water!
Chickens!
Chickens will provide a family with a nutritious supply of eggs to keep hungry children happy and healthy. When the chickens breed, the family can sell the chicks to earn extra income to pay for the other essentials like school fees and medicines.
The families will be able to sell the chicks and earn extra
money
The eggs from
the chickens will mean a
healthier diet for the
children
The money can then be used to buy other items
such as medicine and school books
“I benefit a lot from the chickens. I sell the eggs
and my children eat some too. I used to
struggle a lot to get the basic things. I am
grateful to SCIAF and I hope to be able to pass on some chicks to my
neighbours”Belaynesh Menku, Ethiopia
Passing on the chicks
will mean lots of other
families will be helped
too.
Help plant an allotmentIn Colombia this gift provides seeds, tools and training to build a large vegetable garden at a school in the area.
Hosting the garden at a school gives children the opportunity to learn to grow a wide variety of crops and everyone in the community can come and grow food there too.

It will supply food for the entire community.
By providing seeds and tools the children will be able to grow
their own dinners.
Voice for WomenAll over the world, women are not given the same opportunities as men in school and at work. Their voices are silenced.
This gift provides education about gender equality for women in El Salvador and encourages them to stand up for themselves and their rights.
Fact file: El Salvador
Capital city: San Salvador
Population: 5,744,113
Size: 21,040 km²

Men and women are both worth the same.
But in many countries across the world, women‘s views and their voices are silenced. Girls are not given the same opportunities, to go to school and get an education, as boys.
Sylvia Saul Flores is 17 years old and has been
empowered by classes on
gender equality.
“Women should stand up for
themselves and speak their minds openly and have
their own opinions to
share.”
Wheelchair repair kitGive the gift of mobility!
Wheelchairs can drastically improve disabled people’s lives . But in many countries, repairs for wheelchairs are expensive and difficult to buy.
SCIAF’s partners provide tools and materials so that people’s broken wheelchairs can be fixed quickly.
10-year-old Zabi is from
South Sudan.
He’s severely disabled but his fantastic hand
controlled wheelchair
gives him the freedom to get
around.
A wheelchair can give disabled
children the opportunity to go to school.
Every child should have the chance to
go to school but many children never
get an education.This gift of a
classroom could provide young
people with schooling and hope for a better future.
Real Gift of a Classroom
In Burma/ Myanmar, many children live in refugee camps. The opportunity of an education provides hope for these children and their country.
Why not club together as a whole school to fundraise
for the gift of a classroom.
Thank you
