Real Gifts are life changing, inspirational gifts that will mean a better life for someone living in poverty.
SCIAF Real Gifts supply lots of essential items from school books to wheelchair repair kits or different animals like pigs, sheep and goats. They even supply water wells that will supply a WHOLE village with clean safe drinking water!
Chickens!
Chickens will provide a family with a nutritious supply of eggs to keep hungry children happy and healthy. When the chickens breed, the family can sell the chicks to earn extra income to pay for the other essentials like schools fees and medicines.
The families will be able to sell the chicks and earn extra
money
The eggs from
the chickens will mean a
healthier diet for the
children
The money can then be used to buy other items
such as medicine and school books
“I benefit a lot from the chickens. I sell the eggs
and my children eat some too. I used to
struggle a lot to get the basic things. I am
grateful to SCIAF and I hope to be able to pass on some chicks to my
neighbours”Belaynesh Menku, Ethiopia
Passing on the chicks
will mean lots of other
families will be helped too

Hosting the garden at a school gives children the opportunity to learn to grow a wide variety of crops and everyone in the community can come and grow food there too.
