In the midst of the hustle & bustle of Festive commercialism, maybe it's time to think of a gift with a difference, that will make a difference.

A Birthing Kit works by providing the 7 clean items required for a clean birth enviroment packed in a small plastic box. You can also volunteer your time by assisting at the Kit Assembly Days.

Quilt Aid
Administered by Rotary, this is a gift that will instantly assist in natural and man-made disasters by delivering a box of aid to those in urgent need. The boxes are stored in strategically placed warehouse facilities around the globe & can be shipped immediately to a disaster zone.
Each box supplies an extended family of up to 10 people with a tent and essential equipment (for lighting, shelter, cooking, warmth, etc.) to use while they are displaced or homeless.
Provides tools and training in construction so a family can build their own home and develop skills to earn an income.
This ever popular gift provides nutritious milk and offspring that can be sold or traded by a poor family. Farm animals like goats are vital assets in rural communities.
