My Holiday Charity Project

School Supplies

In poor countries, many children don’t go to school because their parents can’t afford basic supplies. Let’s pitch in to buy books, art materials, pencils, paper, notebooks, rulers and more. It’s a great way to open doors of opportunity for children living in poverty.

Medical Clinic Supplies

Let’s help provide basic medicines to children and families in impoverished areas of the world where hospital and health clinic shelves are often bare. We can send basic medicines like antibiotics, antimalarials, de-worming drugs, vitamins, aspirin, bandages, syringes, and more.

Mosquito Nets

These safety nets can protect children from a potentially deadly enemy—malaria-bearing mosquitoes. Malaria kills a child in Africa every 30 seconds. Treated mosquito nets like these are a proven solution that can help save the lives African children.

Soccer Balls

For girls and boys around the world, real soccer balls are rare. At the sight of one, shouts of excitement erupt and a game instantly begins. Lets help kids have some fun too!

Two years ago, I decided to give up Christmas. Tired of telling my family members what to buy me, I started asking for charitable donations instead. As a child sponsor for World Vision, I encouraged my family to dedicate their gift giving funds to the purchase of World Vision Christmas Catalog gifts instead. Everyone agreed to try it out.

Free from the stress of buying everyone gifts, we found ourselves enjoying the holidays more. On Christmas Day, we were more focused on enjoying activities together. Instead of unwrapping gift after gift, we all sat down at the dinner table and thought about what we’d like to give to those less fortunate in developing countries.
