GIVING CATALOGUE
We invite you to give a special gift to your sponsor child or an unsponsored child in our program. Your gifts will remind each child how much they are loved by you—and by God. All of the gifts in the Giving Catalog are purchased in Uganda and given to the designated child on your behalf. The shipping address is a default at check-out, but it will not be shipped to you.
If selecting Christmas gifts for your sponsor child, purchase online (or by mail) by December 18. Orders received after December 18 will be given out as timely as possible, and remember that you can order gifts throughout the year.
