Helping women, girls and their communities by providing access to health services, clean water and food is a vital part of CARE’s work around the world.
A staggering 340,000 women die from pregnancy-related causes each year, and 99 per cent of these deaths happen in developing countries.
The CAREgifts catalogue includes gifts that help provide food, water, and health aid. By training a village health care volunteer, you can help train and equips them to provide pregnant women and new mothers with vital health and nutrition information, a gift that every mother deserves.
Once a child is born into a poor community, there are many risks to their health. Diarrhoea is the second largest cause of child deaths worldwide, but by providing safe, clean water and good hygiene practices nearly half of these deaths can be avoided. CAREgifts, such as supplying a water treatment kit for a family, you give families recovering from emergencies a three-month supply of tablets that make water safe from water-borne illnesses, including deadly cholera.
Healthy food is also vital for growing children and for family survival. By giving a family veggie garden, you can help provide seeds, tools and training to help a family grow a bounty of vegetables – this weatherproof garden protects soil and plants from storms, pests, heat and reduces the need for watering.
If you want to give a life-changing gift to a person you care about this festive season, why don’t you purchase a gift for a better world.
