This year, thanks to a very generous donor, support for World of Gifts was matched up to $110,000. We are very excited to announce that thanks to your generosity, this match has been met! More than $110,000 has been donated to fund programs in countries all over the world. 

PWRDF donors have been busy getting their Christmas shopping done with World of Gifts. So far, goats for Partners in Health Community Health Workers in Malawi, vegetable seeds for South Sudanese refugees returning home and farm tools for women in the Nyarugusu refugee camp in Tanzania have proven to be the most popular items. Other popular World of Gifts items include water-carrying donkeys for families in Kenya and supporting Moringa seed cultivation in refugee camps along the border of Thailand and Burma.
