Gifts of Hope are real gifts that give back to change real lives. No matter the occasion, you can create lasting impact by giving a Gift of Hope which will bring tangible goods and vital services to children and families who need it most.
Have you ever given a gift that gives twice: first touching hearts at home, and then reaching lives abroad? When you give a Gift of Hope, not only will you inspire your special recipient, you'll also help do real good – whether helping children access clean water, education or health care; enabling families to become more economically empowered; or ensuring more girls can realize their rights and unleash their full potential.
Many charitable giving programs direct your donation as they see fit. But Gifts of Hope are different – your donation goes to the specific gift you choose. For example, when you choose a goat, your donation benefits a goat in countries in Cameroon or Zambia where families not only receive goats but also learn how to nurture a well-producing, profitable farm.
During these unprecedented times, your Gifts of Hope can also stop the spread of COVID-19 and protect vulnerable, remote or densely populated communities by providing critical supplies like soap, hand sanitizer, wipes and temperature sensors and masks.
You can more than double your donations with a matched gift. Your gift can be multiplied by up to 9 times by one of our government, foundation and organizational partners.
Matched gifts are the perfect way to multiply your impact and give more children the gift of hope, helping more families live better lives, and transforming more communities.
Our generous matching partners will match your donation several times over, multiplying the value and impact of your gift.

In several rural Zambian communities, many families struggled to overcome poverty, facing harsh hurdles like limited resources and agricultural crises. Often the income that many parents could earn went straight to feeding their children, leaving little available for school, medicine and other essentials – and leaving children’s full potential behind.
14-year-old Monica’s story was similar, until the life-changing moment when one generous Canadian chose to Defy Normal holiday conventions and give a goat Gift of Hope.
Give a gift that helps support child-centred projects in an area of greatest need.
