Gifts of Hope

This eco-conscious gift will support women and youth in growing businesses that nourish communities and help the planet flourish. It works to sustain environments, food availability and incomes with training and supplies for ventures like seaweed farming, mushroom foraging and beekeeping. This gift also helps protect regions most vulnerable to climate disasters with community-led initiatives like mangrove planting and conservation to reduce storm dangers and damage.

This is one of our most popular gifts. It's fun to give and to receive. And, most importantly, it can be life-changing for families, who can then provide protein-rich goat's milk to their children, especially girls. And selling goat offspring means they can also pay for essentials like education and food.

About a third of the world has never used the internet; most are women and girls who are disconnected from learning, careers and independence – especially during crises. This gift helps girls and young women build fundamental tech and online skills so they can keep pace, create businesses and succeed amid uncertainty. It sets up development centres and computer training, and teaches the use of mobile wallets and digital financial services to increase self-reliance.
