Safe water for 10 people
Few gifts are more important than this. Your gift helps set up or maintain a safe water supply, whatever the circumstances, in whatever form its needed pumps, tanks, purification systems or pipes. Set up a school or village for the first time, or restore the supply after an emergency.
Save trees
Forests are the lungs of the world and this gift could help us all breathe a little easier. Communities trained in forest management skills can protect their forests at a local level, while lobbying work and campaigns addressing climate change and environmental protection issues will concentrate on the bigger picture.
Rainwater collection
It’s unwelcome at Wimbledon and unloved at Lord’s, but precipitation is precious in drought-prone areas. Stored rainwater can help a farming family water their animals or irrigate their crops. We’ll find the right rainwater collection system for their needs and make sure that not a single drop is wasted.
Solar panels
Solar, so good the same sun that brings drought to parched areas could power the water pumps that alleviate the problems. These solar panels can help to harness all that lovely light to generate electricity for health centres, village schools, community centres, or those precious pumps.
Bicycle
Give someone special a lift with an Oxfam Unwrapped bike. These two-wheeled wonders will get nurses, midwives and carers where theyre going fast. So these vitally important people spend less time travelling, and more time doing what they do best. Quick from A to B, and totally carbon-free. Miles more smiles all round.
