Toilet Block

$5,000

Your gift will provide toilets and wash stations to prevent disease and guard children’s dignity. You will be helping children stay healthy, while continuing to learn and grow.

In many of the communities where we work, services such as sewerage systems are extremely lacking—or don’t exist at all. Poor sanitation and hygiene can spark deadly disease outbreaks, damaging children’s healthy development and preventing them from attending school regularly.

Your gift will equip a local church to build new toilet facilities at their Compassion centre that can be used by registered children, their families, Compassion staff and the wider community. You will be helping to protect children’s health and wellbeing, and give girls and boys opportunities to learn important hygiene habits.

FAQs

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.

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 Interventions 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.

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 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.
