Real Gifts

We’ve all wasted money buying people presents which they don’t really need. That’s why SCIAF came up with Real Gifts – life-changing, poverty-fighting presents that help poor communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

There are loads of Real Gifts to choose from, like Junkyard Jewellery which helps women in Cambodia to make beautiful bags, hats and beads from waste paper and plastic.

Soun used to scrape together a living by selling rubbish. Now she makes bracelets out of scraps of paper. She said:

“Collecting rubbish was dangerous work – I was lucky to make $1 a day. Now I make three times that much and I work at home where it is safe. I use the extra money to feed my children and buy clothes.”

Real Gifts are great for any occasion from Christmas, birthday’s and christenings to anniversaries, weddings and first holy communions.

When you buy a SCIAF Real Gift, we will send you a beautiful card and fridge magnet to remind you of the difference your gift is making.
