Gift A Gift To Change A Life This Mother’s Day

Ethical gifts from World Vision's Gift Catalogue offer a meaningful alternative to traditional Mother’s Day gifts This Mother’s Day, World Vision is encouraging New Zealanders to consider a life-changing, ethical gift that will benefit not only their own mum, but other mothers around the world.

Millions of mothers and children are facing hunger, displacement, and conflict and a life-changing gift from World Vision’s Gift Catalogue can truly transform lives and offer hope to vulnerable families in need.

World Vision’s ethical gifts cost as little as $10, making it easy for everyone to contribute to a brighter future for mothers and children globally. Some of the life-changing gifts include: Immunising a child or providing fast-growing seeds ($10), keeping mums and babies healthy ($63), providing a family veggie garden ($28), cooking classes to combat malnutrition ($54), supporting a girl to get an education ($80), or helping a woman to start a business ($160).

For those looking to make a more significant impact, gifts such as providing emergency shelter ($250) or a donation to where it is most needed ($100) can help communities facing emergencies, violence, and poverty.

Each gift purchased comes with a printed card or an e-card, allowing givers to personalise for the mum or mother figure in their life.

World Vision Associate National Director, TJ Grant, says Mother’s Day is the perfect occasion to give a gift that is focused on love and compassion.

“For many of us, our mothers or the mother figures in our lives embody love and kindness. What better way to recognise and acknowledge the love your mum has shown to you, than by giving her a gift that will support and empower another mum who is doing it tough.

“By choosing a life-changing gift from World Vision, New Zealanders can help to make the world a better place by helping children and families who need it most.”

The benefits of ethical gifting are clear – not only will your gift help provide immediate relief to a mother, child, and their community, but it will also help provide long-term, sustainable solutions to challenges like hunger, malnutrition, and education.
