This 7-Year-Old Girl Gave Up Her Gifts

This year, 7-year-old Gabriella Laws gave up her birthday gifts and asked for clean water in Africa instead. Gabriella wanted to raise $250 but ended up raising $950 for clean water in rural Africa.

You can do the same for the holiday.

This holiday season we will get a lot of gifts.

Some of these gifts will be useful and others may not be. Instead of asking for gifts this year why not ask your friends and family members to make a donation to help provide African communities with life’s most basic needs: clean water, primary health care and a safe and healthy environment.

This holiday season, you and the staff members in your office may be looking for a way to help those who are less fortunate. You might be looking for a way to reach out to vulnerable communities in Africa.

Here’s how you can help.

The Give Up Your Gifts for Africa campaign gives people a way to help provide African communities with access to some of life’s most basic needs such as clean water, adequate food, primary health care and more.

Just go to www.giveupyourgifts.ca and sign up your office as a team, choose the project you would like to support, set a fundraising goal and accept donations instead of gifts.

Instead of doing a ‘Secret Santa’ or exchanging staff gifts, why not Give Up Your Gifts for Africa this holiday season and support critical African community development projects.

Give Up Your Gifts for Africa - your support will not just make a difference – it will change lives.

All funds raised from the Give Up Your Gifts for Africa campaign go to support Canadian Physicians for Aid & Relief’s (CPAR’s) development projects in Africa. CPAR works in partnership with vulnerable communities and diverse organizations to overcome poverty and build healthy communities in Africa.
