Save the Children’s Gifts of Joy catalog features impactful choices for everyone on your list, explore the options below. 

Plumpy’Nut® Peanut Paste, $60 
Provide a child experiencing malnutrition with several weeks of life-saving therapeutic food. Packed with protein, this enriched peanut paste gives a child the nutrition they need to gain weight and return to health.

1 Goat, 2 Chicks, $75 
Goats and chicks provide an essential daily supply of milk and eggs to help nourish growing children. Livestock can also be bred to expand the family’s income, making this option one that can help not only a growing child and family,  but also an entire community.

Clean Water Project, $50
Give access to clean water! Help drill a well, install a pump, or build a washroom for a community to reduce the spread of deadly diseases. With a clean water source nearby, children can go to school instead of walking long distances to collect water for their families.

Emergency Backpacks, $45 
The increasing number of climate emergencies regularly force entire Indigenous communities in northern Canada to be evacuated. Provide an emergency backpack that contains a hygiene kit, ID bracelet, flashlight toy, notebook and pen, along with emergency training to help keep a child safe. 

Educate A Girl, $75 
Every girl has a right to an education. Too often, families can’t afford to keep their daughters in school. Staying in school delays marriage and childbirth and provides girls with an opportunity to become self-sufficient. Books, learning materials, and access to education to allow a girl to pursue her dreams.

Solar Water System, $200
Access to safe and sustainable water is a major challenge for many children and families. Help install and maintain a solar-powered water system to provide a reliable supply of clean drinking water for a large region.

Girl’s Dignity Kit, $30 
Supply a girl with hygiene basics so she can feel comfortable and go to school during her period: reusable and disposable menstrual pads, soaps, washcloths, underwear, materials to make pads, and an information pamphlet about periods.

Mental Health Support, $100 
Mental health support is a priority for many Indigenous communities. Support a child through local mental health programs that are culturally sensitive and grounded in Indigenous knowledge.

Through the Gifts of Joy program, you can purchase an item in honour of your loved one, friend, teacher, colleague, and other important people in your life and include a personalized greeting card explaining the impact of the gift. Every selection is a step toward brining safety, justice, and life-saving aid to those around the world who need it most.
