Welcome to the 2018–2019 Gift of Hope Catalog
Give a gift of hope to your brothers and sisters around the world in honor of the Christmas season today.
Many women in labor, and others in medical emergencies, must rely on stretchers, bikes, motorbikes or even their own feet to get to the closest health facility. In remote areas, transportation is inaccessible and walking is impossible. Ambulances made from motorized tricycles save 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.
Kits help families in sub-standard housing survive cold winters. They include blankets, heaters, insulation and tarps to reinforce roofs and keep people dry.
Prenatal and infant care is critical to ensuring the health of mothers and the very survival of their babies. In many remote, impoverished regions, CRS provides the only access to quality prenatal care, safe deliveries and follow-up care for mothers and young children. Programs provide parents with both health education on infant and maternal care, and nutrition.
A lamb or kid (baby goat) can be a daily source of nutritious milk. They help farm families provide their children with well-rounded diets and increase incomes.
A Gift of Hope represents an inspirational way for you to make a life-changing difference for families and communities around the world. Simply choose a gift that will help save, protect and transform the lives of our most vulnerable brothers and sisters–and then, choose a special card to personalize and let your loved one know you’ve given a Gift of Hope in their name.
