Chicken with Colin

$15

Not only will this card make you chuckle, it changes the lives of families living in poverty! We’ve partnered with much-loved entertainer Colin Buchanan to create a special edition card that will provide struggling families with the gift of a chicken.

Gifting this card to your loved one means a family in need will have a source of income and a supply of eggs to eat. Raising chickens is a simple, effective way for a family to reduce poverty. Even households struggling with illness or frailty will find raising chickens an easy activity that improves their family’s food security and income. It’s a boost for their financial situation, and their pantry!

This funny yet powerful card is perfect for Colin fans of all ages.

FAQs

Can I send my sponsored child a Gift of Compassion?
No. Gifts of Compassion are different to the gifts you can send your sponsored child. Funds from the purchase of Gifts of Compassion are pooled to support a range of Critical Needs that benefit many children and families and can't be directed to an individual child.

However, you can choose to send a gift specifically for your sponsored child by giving a child gift, family gift and/or birthday gift. One hundred per cent of these gifts will directly benefit your sponsored child and their family.

Do the Gifts of Compassion gifts really cost what I am paying for them?

The gifts featured in the Gifts of Compassion represent initiatives Compassion carries out to address the needs of children that require support beyond sponsorship. As each country and community in the developing world has its own unique challenges to address, what these initiatives look like and how much they cost can vary. This means your donation will be pooled with others to fund an initiative.

What is a Gift of Compassion?
Gifts of Compassion are real goods and services given to children and families in Compassion child development centres around the world when you purchase an item from the Gifts of Compassion catalogue. For every Gift of Compassion you order, you will receive a gift card to personalise for your friends and loved ones.

Funds raised from the Gifts of Compassion catalogue are used to support Compassion's Critical Needs, which remove obstacles to children's development and implement preventative action. These interventions include providing safe water, disaster relief, emergency medical care, vocational training, infrastructure, and much more: all issues that need to be addressed for a child to be released from poverty.

Compassion Australia uses Gifts of Compassion funds to meet the project needs represented in the catalogue.
