The items on the World Vision Must Have Gifts have been requested directly by communities the charity is working with to fight poverty, hunger and injustice in both planned projects and emergency situations.

For each gift you buy, you will be helping World Vision help communities to help themselves in both the short and long term.

The Must Have Gift list is regularly updated, so projects will not be flooded with surplus supplies that they cannot use and new items are added as they are needed.

Current Must Haves
1. Seeds for a family farm for food and income – £9
2. Tap to provide safe clean water in schools – £9
3. 10 fruit trees helps a family grow their own produce – £9
4. Meals for 70 children in Cambodia – £12
5. 5 chickens will lay enough eggs to feed a family – £14

To buy gifts at World Vision pick the product and then you’re able to choose from an ecard, one of six gift cards or you can personalise a card. Don’t forget to add gift aid if you’re a UK tax payer as this means 28p in every £1 is reclaimed on donations.

But what if you were?
