Gone fishin’ for Father’s Day

Published on 24 August 2011

Donate a fish farm to a village in Cambodia on behalf of your dad this Father's Day

Does your dad love nothing more than a weekend fishing trip? Then why not treat him to his very own fish farm this Father’s Day (4 September)!

ChildFund Australia’s Donations with a Difference website gives you the opportunity to find a fantastic gift for your dad, while also helping to improve the lives of impoverished children and their families around the world.

By spending just $99, you can buy Dad a fish farm and give a village in Cambodia a sustainable source of food and income so they can provide good nutrition and care for their children.

Or if your dad’s a keen gardener, how about some fruit and veggie seeds? For just $21, this will give farmers in Papua New Guinea a healthy harvest of delicious mangoes, bananas, berries and yams to sell at the markets and help support their families.

And for the sports-loving dads, you can’t go past a soccer ball ($19) or netball ($23). These gifts will not only score points with Dad but will give children in poor communities the chance to play games and enjoy their childhoods.

Buying your gift is easy, too. Just visit ChildFund Australia’s Donations with a Difference website and choose your present from the online catalogue. You will then be sent a card to give to your dad, detailing the generous gift you’ve donated on his behalf. E-cards are also available for instant download – perfect for a last-minute gift!

“We would like to thank everyone who continues to support Donations with a Difference,” says ChildFund Australia CEO Nigel Spence. “Each year we’re able to deliver thousands of resources to families in need, thanks to the incredible generosity of Australians. Every gift you donate helps to make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable children.”
