The idea behind this is instead of buying someone a Christmas present that they don't really need you buy people in poverty a present instead. This can range from a share in a farm yard, a goat or safe drinking water. The prices range from as little as £5 to £100 with lots of prices in-between so it is suitable no matter your budget. When you have bought the gift you get a card with more information and it can be personalised. This can be sent directly to their house or to you to put under the Christmas tree so they still get a present to open on Christmas day.

What do you think of this scheme? Have you bough anything from it before?
Thanks for reading!x
I've studied this 'give a goat' scheme in Geography and it's really sustainable so you can guarantee that this gift will help a family out in the long term and will change their lives forever. Great post! :)

That is really good to know because I was worried it might not be sustainable. You can also tick a box saying you give person for the money to spent where it is most needed too x
DeleteOh what a fantastic idea! So lovely how such a small thing makes a huge difference :)
