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 Thanksgiving today.
Often families can only afford a basic education for their children. With tuition and lunch provided, teenagers who were kept home can now continue to learn.
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.
A household garden provides important nutritional variety to poor families. Catholic Relief Services teaches families how to build keyhole gardens, raised-bed gardens that are specially designed to maintain nutrient-rich soil and stay productive during winter months. They are also easy to tend, even for people with limited mobility.
Pigs are perfect for helping farmers earn more. Rather than requiring pasture, pigs can live in small pens and eat a wide variety of foods.
Eggs and chickens provide lifesaving protein for families. Chickens are easy to raise in small yards and can generate added income.
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.
