How it works

Thank you!

Protection Against Malaria Malian child

Easily preventable diseases, such as malaria, are life-threatening to children in Mali.

A mosquito net for a pregnant mother or young child will protect against malaria and help a Malian child to have a healthier start in life.

Protection Against Malaria£5

A selection of saplings Ugandan farmer

Oranges, lemons, avocados and mangos all leave a great taste in the mouth.

Growing these fruit tree saplings and selling the produce also puts food on the table and money in the pockets of farmers in Uganda.

A selection of saplings£15

Literacy materials for one woman Nepalese women

Years of conflict have displaced thousands of people and disrupted education in Nepal. MRDF is providing literacy classes for women who missed out on their schooling first time round.

Parbati Mahara learnt to read and write in one of these classes: "The difference between literacy and illiteracy" she says "is like the difference between earth and sky."

Literacy materials for one woman£20

Livestock for a family Ethiopian shepherd

Hampered by poor quality soil and a lack of resources, farming in the highlands of Ethiopia is a tough job.

MRDF is helping young farmers find new ways of earning a living, including keeping and caring for sheep and goats.

Livestock for a family£45

Shelter a street child for a year Bangladeshi children

Nearly half a million children live on the streets in Bangladesh. Life is hard and dangerous for street children, and there are few places of safety for them to go.

MRDF provides shelter, food and healthcare for street children, as well as education to help them to move on to a better life in the future.

Shelter a street child for a year£65

A camel for a desert community Camel

In the dry and arid heart of Northern Kenya, drought and famine are common.

A camel, which can survive without water for many days, is a wise gift - providing nutritious milk and transport fit for a king.

A camel for a desert community£115

How it works

All the items and activities in this catalogue form part of projects currently being carried out by MRDF partner organisations. When you choose a gift, your money will be allocated to the particular MRDF partner organisation carrying out that work.

For example, the money you spend to ‘buy livestock for a family' will go towards an MRDF project in Ethiopia that provides sheep and goats to young farmers as part of its work.
