Welcome to the 2020-2021 Gift of Hope Catalog
Send a life-changing gift to hard-working dads around the world, and help them rebuild their lives. These dads want to create healthy, happy homes for their families, but a lack of opportunity often gets in the way. You can give hope today!
Too many children around the world don’t have access to quality health care. Routine health exams for children help monitor growth and development, and provide vaccinations to prevent disease. They also allow health care providers access to necessities, such as medical supplies, to diagnose and treat diseases, so that girls and boys have a better chance to lead healthy, happy lives.
Can’t decide what gift to give? Give a Basket of Hope that provides family security. From a microfinance training, a winterization kit and quality seed to mosquito nets and a flock of chickens, your gift can help a family thrive with a secure and sustainable income.
With tools and training, communities learn to dig wells for accessible, safe water. Training for local mechanics helps them maintain sanitation systems and improve health too.
Can’t decide what gift to give? Give a Basket of Hope that supports basic needs. With fertilizer for farming, prenatal care, a back to school kit and a hand-washing station, your gift will help men, women and children.
Catholic Relief Services supports savings-based microfinance groups that provide extremely poor people—mostly women—with a way to save their own money and provide opportunities to invest, borrow and help their neighbors meet emergency needs. Groups are self-sustaining, and each member receives training in financial management.
A stocked fish pond means that a high-protein dinner is just a catch away. Catholic Relief Services helps families stock ponds that feed their families—even when crops fail. Fish also provide another source of income for farmers and better nutrition for the entire community.
