Choose your charity gifts
When you donate Gifts for Good, they're sent to a child, family or community who really needs it and you’ll get a beautiful card to share with your friends and loved ones.
For many parents, school supplies like pens, pencils and notebooks are unaffordable. Your gift gives a student the essential items they need for a successful year of learning, along with a backpack to carry them in.
It’s hard to concentrate on school when you’re freezing cold! Winter can be harsh when you’re a child growing up in poverty.
The gift of a household water filter will give children access to drinking water, and help them avoid diarrhoea and other life-threatening waterborne diseases.
These mosquito nets are one of the cheapest and most effective ways to prevent malaria, which kills one child under five every minute.
In the communities where we work, family finance are often not enough to cover the costs of school fees. A scholarship will help keep children in the classroom, creating a brighter future.
Why donate Gifts for Good?
Giving is how we improve the lives of others and bring meaning to our own.
When you donate Gifts for Good, you can help children and families in poverty access life-saving essentials, and regain a sense of purpose.
Our gifts respond to the needs of children in the countries where we work.
How your gift helps a child in need?
In many parts of Africa children face starvation and malnutrition. Your gift could provide their families with chickens for eggs, and goats or camels for milk.
A simple hand pump well or water filter can ensure a child is able to drink clean water and improve hygiene.
Many rural communities don’t have access to healthcare. Your gift could provide medical supplies to prevent infection and disease.
School supplies and library books will give disadvantaged children the opportunity to create, learn and grow.
Gift a family back their livelihood
Civil violence, natural disasters and economic downturn have deprived many families in Africa and Asia of their livelihoods.
Your gift can provide families in poverty with livestock, seeds for planting backyard gardens and farms to pick up where they left off.
To reduce poverty rates in Africa and Asia, we’ll need to restore order and security to the livelihoods of families affected by crisis.
How our gift donations work
When you give Gifts for Good your donation helps transform the lives of children around the world!
The gift of three chickens are Gifts for Good that keep on giving! Chickens give children a daily dose of essential nutrients and help provide a steady stream of income for families in poor communities.

No. The Gifts for Good program is designed to help vulnerable and deprived children around the globe, not just children sponsored by the Australian public.
Yes! We are committed to supplying the exact gifts you have purchased to children, families, communities and schools that really need them. If however more gifts are donated than a country is able to provide, we re-allocate the funds to a similar program.
As every Gifts for Good gift is designed to support long-term development strategies, each gift is allocated based on a needs assessment. In general, Needs Assessments are conducted in collaboration with the community and community members and leaders themselves are involved in the decision as to who is most in need. ChildFund programs are committed to community participation and self-selection.
If you’re looking for a creative gift idea for your friends and family simply choose a gift from the online store that you would like to buy in honour of your loved ones. We send your funds to our ChildFund partners overseas who use the money to provide the gift you have donated to deprived children and families. You receive a gift card to give to your loved ones to show them the unique act you have performed on their behalf.
For mail order, please allow 10 days for delivery of your gift card/s. In order for you to write a personal message, we will send the gift card directly to you, and not to your friends or family. E-Cards and print at home cards will be delivered to the nominated email address instantly.
