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

  • 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.

    You can:

    • Give a Gift of Compassion
    • Contact us to request more copies of the Gifts of Compassion catalogue to distribute at your church or workplace
  • 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 their 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.

  • How did you choose the gifts to include in this year’s Gifts of Compassion catalogue?

    We work closely with our church partners around the world to make sure the gifts we’ve selected will make a big difference in the lives of the children and families in their communities. However, if at the time of purchase there isn’t a need for your chosen gifts, the funds will go towards a comparable, more urgent initiative.

  • What happens if there isn’t a need for the gift at the time I purchase it?

    We are committed to ensuring that the gifts from our Gifts of Compassion catalogue facilitate good development work. This means responding to the changing needs of the children and families in Compassion’s program around the world. If at the time of purchase there isn’t a need for your chosen gift, the funds will go towards a comparable, more urgent initiative. For example, if there was no current need for chickens, then your funds may go towards a pig or another farm animal.

  • What do I receive when I give a Gift of Compassion?

    For every Gift of Compassion you order, you will receive a beautiful gift card to personalise for your friends and loved ones. The amount you have donated will not be printed on the card.

    Real goods and services represented by the Gift of Compassion item you order will be given to children and families supported by Compassion around the world.
