Spread Jesus' love this Christmas by donating a gift to people in need! Whilst Australians collectively spend $1 billion a day in the lead up to Christmas, thousands of families worldwide are hungry, lonely and uncertain for their future. By donating a gift to these families, you will help show love in meaningful ways this Christmas.
Anglican Aid is a reputable, registered charity that provide many opportunities for us to give to the needy in our world. Here are just five ways;
1. GOOD SHEPHERD SCHOOL, LEBANON - CHRISTMAS OUTREACH
A gift of $15 towards Good Shepherd School in Lebanon will help them resource and run a wonderful community outreach Christmas event for local Syrian and Iraqi refugee families. Your gift will supply food and entertainment for these families who are far from home this Christmas.
2. HEART OF MERCY SCHOOL, ZIMBABWE - CHRISTMAS MEAL AND GIFT
A gift of $25 will help provide a special meal and presents to disadvantaged children from Heart of Mercy School in Zimbabwe. Many of these children are orphans and are being cared for by their extended family. The school is in a particularly under-resourced and remote area of Zimbabwe where drought regularly causes food scarcity and financial insecurity.
3. MIRACLE MINISTRIES, PAKISTAN - FOOD RATION PACK
A gift of $30 will provide a Christmas food ration pack for impoverished and enslaved families trapped in Pakistan's brick kilns. Your gift will provide food security to Pakistan's most vulnerable people.
4. LILY OF THE VALLEY, SOUTH AFRICA - HOLIDAY OUTINGS FOR ORPHANED CHILDREN
A gift of $35 will provide special holiday outings with Lily of the Valley for orphaned and abandoned children in South Africa. Christmas is a lonely time for many, particularly those without families, so your gift will provide excitement and hope for these children.
5. WOMEN IN NEED, SYRIA (WINS) - FUEL
A gift of $100 will provide fuel for three months for families in Damascus Syria to help them with heating and cooking during the cold and harsh winters. There is no electricity in Damascus due to the ongoing conflict so your gift is incredibly important to keep these families warm and able to cook their food.
