Charity Alternative Gifts for 2010

Would you like to give a present this Christmas that will help change lives?

Alongside Child Sponsorships for Christmas, giving one of our Alternative Gifts can help us provide a new family, education and healthcare to orphaned and abandoned children at our SOS Children’s Village Basse in The Gambia.

You can look at and order Alternative Gifts and Christmas Cards online, from our suppliers.  For other ways to order, see below.

	could provide a child’s school fees and school materials for a month.		could pay for a month’s transport to the SOS school for a child living in the local community.
	could provide food and clean water for a month for a child living in the SOS Village.		could cover medical costs for all the children and staff living at the SOS Village Basse for ten days.

How it works:

For each of the Alternative Gifts that you select, we will send you a Gift Card to give, with the picture shown above and details of how this gift will support the SOS Children’s Village Basse.

The SOS Village is made up of 12 family houses that provide a home for more than a hundred vulnerable children, many of whose mothers died during childbirth. Here the children have found the love and security of a new SOS mum and family,are able to attend the SOS schools and receive all the medical care they need. The SOS schools are also available to children from the local community where educational services are extremely basic.

By sending one of our Alternative Christmas Gifts, you can help us to provide children in The Gambia with a safe and secure childhood and a future. Your donation will go towards supporting the SOS Children’s Village Basse.

This continues SOS Children UK's relationship with SOS Children's Village Basse.  Our supporters in the UK generously provided the whole funding for this village in the Gambia.  Now we offer these alternative gifts as a way to maintain our strong relationship with this village.  If you would like to donate to another village, go to our donate page, and type the village or country name you would like to support in the special instructions box.
