Whether it is new or 'good as new', individual donations mount up to make a real and immediate difference to people who daily have to make the choice between food or clothing, medicine or shoes. Their meagre incomes do not stretch to providing everything they need.
Support through the GiK programme eases those choices and gives people back their dignity.
The list below has been compiled following requests received from the local communities we support and based on our experience in the areas we provide assistance. Any quantity of goods, however large or small is greatly appreciated.
