Tearfund | Gift for Life

Tearfund''s Gift for Life is where you’ll find unique gifts such as goats, chickens and vaccinations to give to someone in need on behalf of someone else.

Sorry, you have not added any donations or gifts to your basket.
When you buy a Gift for Life, your donation goes to support the project overseas related to your gift choice. These projects include giving families and individuals the gift you’ve selected.
After you purchase a gift, we send you an e-card with a description of the gift and its impact on a family in the developing world. The price of the gift is not included on the card, so you can give it to your friend, colleague or loved one. We’ll also send you a tax-deductible receipt for any amount over $5. That means you’ll get back 33% of the money you gave us!
We don’t consider any one gift to be better than others. The project that your donation goes to has been selected to meet critical needs. Each gift is valuable and we want you to feel free to choose.
Should the number of items sold exceed the amount needed for a project, Tearfund will redirect donations to where they are needed most. But don’t stress! You’ll still receive a card for the gift you originally purchased.
The feedback we regularly receive from our programmes team who work in the communities is that animals are not mistreated. In fact, they are a seen as a vital part of their livelihood and treasured gifts. "Animals are often the main source of family income in rural developing communities and thus are usually treated with high regard and respect. The animal''s owner is totally aware that the animal is hugely significant in terms of helping provide a livelihood and so making sure animals are well cared for is given high priority." Kevin Riddell, Programmes officer, Tearfund.
Unfortunately, no. When you purchase a Gift for Life, your donation goes toward the project, which includes giving out the gift you’ve selected. We do receive stories from our partners of families who have been blessed as a result of the programme, but we are not able to trace each individual who is benefitted through our Gift for Life programme.
We can''t send Gift for Life presents to sponsored children, however we can send special gifts to them through Compassion instead. If you would like to send a gift to the child you sponsor, please email enquiries@tearfund.org.nz or send through a donation with details of the child you sponsor to Tearfund. We will then be sure your gift makes it to your child.
It''s easy! You can order items from our unique gift catalogue by phone or online.
Online, visit the gifts section on this website, or alternatively give us a call on 0800 800 777.
When you buy a Gift for Life, your donation goes to our overseas partner. This allows them to help the poorest and most vulnerable in the communities they work in, which includes giving families and individuals the gift you’ve selected. For example, when you buy a coffee plant, the money goes to our partners who provide coffee plants in Vanuatu. A donation like this will help provide plants and training in agricultural processes and income generation to vulnerable families in Vanuatu.
Should the number of items sold exceed the amount needed for a project in total, Tearfund will redirect donations where they are needed most. But don’t stress! You’ll still receive a card for the gift you originally purchased.
