Buy them the Best Gift this year!

So many of us struggle with gift ideas at this time of year. Does Dad really need another pair of socks? How many chocolates can grandma eat?

This year do something different.

Make a donation to Crossroads International on behalf of a loved one. When you purchase Crossroads International’s Best Gift, you’re contributing towards lasting change. With each donation you’ll be helping to build brighter futures and exciting opportunities for people in Africa and Bolivia. These aren’t gifts that will be used up and forgotten after the holidays. They represent a commitment to strengthening the capacity of individuals and organizations driving change in some of the poorest parts of the world.  

Making a gift is easy: simply select a gift and card to send to your family member, friend, or colleague, letting them know you made a donation to Crossroads International in their honour.

Here are a few gift ideas to suit every person on your list:

•  For children: Help a girl in Swaziland attend a Girls’ Empowerment Club, where she will learn to build the courage necessary to create a brighter future for herself and her community.
• For teenagers: Contribute towards youth entrepreneurship programs that empower young people to take control of their future.
• For your outspoken sibling: Support legal literacy volunteers, who reached more than 9000 rural Ghanaians last year. They help women learn their rights so they can stand up and speak out.
• For the strong women in your life: Support women running cooperatives. Their income enables access to healthcare, nutrition and education for themselves and their families.
• For your workplace colleagues: Build the capacity of individuals to create thriving agricultural and business opportunities by supporting local organizations offering technical training and marketing guidance.
