Each year over $1 billion is wasted on unwanted gifts that end up in the closet, in storage and ultimately in landfill -- but there is an alternative. Organisations like World Vision, Oxfam and UNICEF are making it easier for us to make a real difference this Christmas.
It’s possible to purchase a variety of gifts from these charitable organisations. Items include a packet seeds at $10, a goat for $39 and a calf for $180, along with bicycles, water pumps, vaccinations, mosquito nets and more.
Rather than buying just another present this year why not get a gift that will make a real difference to somebody’s life.
Below is a short list of organisations that can help you make a real difference this Christmas.
