What are Inspired Gifts?

Inspired Gifts’ are real, life-saving and life-changing gifts that are distributed to children and their communities around the world throughout the year.
When you buy an Inspired Gift for a friend or family member that person will receive an electronic or paper gift card with a photograph or description of the gift/programme that you have purchased. Then depending on where the need is greatest, your gift will be dispatched to one of the 155 countries in which we operate.


We have a wide variety of gifts to choose from, including immunisation, therapeutic milk, blankets, family water kits, water pumps, mosquito nets and lots more.


We respond to the real needs of children around the world. As a result, there may be some cases in which the Inspired Gift you have selected will be substituted with one from the same category, because there is a greater need for it. That way, you will always know which area of our work you are supporting and can feel assured that it really is helping the world’s children, right now.
