How Living Gifts work
1. Select a gift
2. Send email or print a card
3. Change lives
Avoid the traffic jams, crowds and car parking challenges at the shopping centres and choose gifts for family and friends from the comfort of home. Simply browse through our range living gifts, select one, write a personal message on your e-card or printable gift card, send it and make a real difference in someone’s life.
Printing and Folding your Gift Card
Instead of emailing your Living Gift, you can download and print a gift card. When you make a purchase, you’ll receive an email with links to download a PDF for each gift you’ve purchased. Download your gift card and print on an A4 page, then:
- Fold the top of the page to meet the bottom, keeping the text and picture on the outside.
- Then fold in half again, keeping the photo on the outside as the front of your card.
FAQs
Where does the money go?
When you purchase a Living Gift, you are supporting a long-term, community transforming project being run by one of our Christian partners in Ethiopia, Lebanon or Cambodia. Each Living Gift represents a contribution to a broader community development effort. For example, if you purchase an emergency kit, you helps us send vital funds to support the work of our partner in Lebanon. If you choose Beekeeping, we are able to continue our work in the Self Help Group project in Ethiopia. Likewise, the Family Tracing supports our ongoing work to protect children and strengthen families in Cambodia.
If the project represented by the Living Gift item you purchase is fully funded, we will redirect the funds to where the need is greatest.
Where is my gift purchased?
When you purchase a Living Gift, you are supporting a long-term community transforming project. Any physical items obtained, will be purchased by the local partner who is running the project. Tearfund Ireland does not purchase and ship items directly. This is too costly, inefficient and does not help support the local economy where the items can often be more sustainably sourced.
