CHF - Gifts That Matter

When you buy a CHF Gift that Matters, here’s how it works.... The cost of your gift takes into consideration all the factors needed to ensure that it has the greatest possible impact on the lives of people living in poverty. Each item in the catalogue is needed for one or more current CHF projects overseas.

Your donation will be applied to one of them. Once enough funds are raised for the specific type of gift you selected, CHF will apply your donation to another aspect of our projects providing livelihoods for people challenged by poverty. Since our bundled gift baskets offer items from several of our projects, these donations may support more than one of them.

How Our Gifts Work

When you buy a CHF Gift That Matters — Here's how it works...

The cost of your gift takes into consideration all the factors needed to ensure that it has the greatest possible impact on the lives of people living in poverty overseas, for example:

Transportation, delivery and distribution for your gift to reach its new home

Veterinary training and care to keep animals healthy

Skills training to construct and maintain water systems

Training families to make best use of their gift

Market awareness education so families can make the most of their assets

Each item in the catalogue is needed for one or more current CHF projects overseas. Your donation will be applied to one of them. Once enough funds are raised for the specific gift you selected, CHF will apply your donation to another aspect of our projects providing livelihoods for people challenged by poverty.

Triple the Value of Gift!

For every $1 you donate, CIDA (Canadian International Development Agency) commits $3. For example, when you donate $100, CIDA contributed $300 - so the total value of your gift is now $400! That's an excellent investment in the people and programs we serve.
