Gifts to Transform Lives
We all have that person in our lives who is impossible to buy gifts for, right?
The dad who already has everything - he's got you, after all! Or the mum who says all she wants is for you to be happy. The sister who doesn't need her own stuff when she can borrow yours! And what about the brother who already has enough socks? Then there's the great aunt who doesn't agree with all that consumerism, the teacher who already gets 23 bars of chocolate, and the neighbour who you're not entirely sure what they might like.
That's where alternative gifts come in: instead, you buy them the gift of giving. From as little as £5, you can now purchase gifts for all those hard-to-buy-for friends and family that will not only bring a joyful smile to their faces, but can also make a huge difference to the lives of those less fortunate.
You'll have the choice to receive an e-certificate that you can forward by email to your recipient, or a physical certificate mailed to your address that you can personalise and send or give by hand. To receive a physical certificate, you must provide your mailing address - either with your donation or separately by emailing us at info@newways.org.uk. Also, please don't donate anonymously as we won't then be able to see your details in order to send your gift certificate. Rest assured that in compliance with current rules we will only communicate with you in respect of your donation/gift, unless you have provided consent for your details to be added to our email subscription list.
£5 will provide a new nursery school uniform for one of the children
At our Nursery Schools in Turkana, Kenya we start the day by giving every child a nutritious breakfast before they get to shower and put on their school uniform. This teaches them good hygiene and prepares them physically and mentally for the classroom. It needs replacing each year as the child grows as well as having a different colour depending on their progress.
Your gift provides a child with the visible reminder of the education few of their parents could have even dreamed of!
