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.

• Can the recipient print the Gifts of Compassion e-card?

  Absolutely! There will be a download button within the email so your recipient can download the e-card and print it, if they wish.

• Why is the Pack of 10 only available as physical cards?

  The Gifts of Compassion Fruit and Veggie Seeds Pack of 10 was introduced to make the ordering process simpler for you. There isn’t a need to introduce a digital version as this can be done by simply entering your desired quantity of cards.

• How will I know when the recipient has received the email with their Gifts of Compassion e-card?

  You will receive email confirmation once your e-card has been delivered.

• 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.
