The Christian World Service Christmas Appeal (and gifts) this year enable us to show practical love to those living in hard places around the world.

CWS Christmas Appeal

THE CLIMATE CRISIS IS ROBBING PEOPLE OF WATER, FOOD AND HOPE

Small farmers can no longer grow enough food. Fish workers cannot harvest enough fish. Workers cannot earn enough income. Floods and droughts can force people from their homes.

No one should be hungry at Christmas. Your gift of love could provide families with the seeds, plants and the new knowledge they need to grow climate-resilient food. Or help families who have fled conflict and violence find new livelihoods in a new community. Or support communities working together to face big challenges – like elephants ruining their gardens.

Please support our Christmas Appeal to Share Food this Christmas.

Your donation could help fund

• small farmers to learn agro-ecological methods in Sri Lanka
• new chicken coops and fencing in Tonga
• the research and support for a community-led campaign to protect natural resources and rights.
• training and support for women to set up new businesses

Please give today so people can catch the rain and plant new crops.

Share a gift of aroha love so people have food and hope.

Give a Gift of Love

Giving gifts is part of our Christmas tradition. Most of us can remember a special gifts received from family and friends. Giving is one way we share love with those most important to us. It is also an opportunity to remember families who are praying for a life-giving gift right now.

The new Gifted catalogue from Christian World Service (CWS) is packed full of gifts that could help a family improve their livelihoods, receive life-giving care at a medical centre, or learn new and essential life-skills. By giving to the CWS Gifted Appeal your gift will fund local partners who are providing healthcare, teaching new skills or campaigning for positive change. CWS will send you a beautiful gift card or e-card for each gift which you can pass on to someone special. 

Gifts come in all shapes and sizes from Seeds to Elephants. Choose a gift that is good for the environment and for a family that needs food. Bees is the perfect gift for a keen gardener to go with a plant or box of chocolates.

Please don’t wait to choose your life-giving gifts. Order your gifts by December 11 to make sure the cards arrive in plenty of time. You can order E-cards at any time – even on Christmas Day!

Get ready for Christmas. Choose your Gifts of Love today.
