Meaningful Gifts - reaching out to those living in poverty and ill health in south India
Giving is not just about donation, it is about making a difference
Stuck for Christmas gift ideas?
Why not give a Meaningful Gift Card? This will make all the difference, in a practical way, to the lives of people in Kerala, already struggling to survive, but at the moment, made worse due to Covid-19.
In Kerala over the last 8 months, 90% of people have had no work. Employment in Kerala is mainly fishing/harbour work and tourism, with some occasional construction work paid on a daily basis - but this has all ceased and people are at rock bottom, with no state help.
Your gift card can be for any occasion and will include the relevant information

Smart phone for rural children to enable online studies
£65 + £1.50 p&p

Children in rural areas do not have access to a smart phone that can be utilised for their studies. Therefore they fall behind with their education, and are unable to send in their homework or do their school work online. The pandemic has turned the smart phone from a luxury to a must-have! Already in debit, a farmer from northern India sold his only cow (his one asset) for Rs6000 (£62), to buy a device for his children to share, so that they would not fall behind with their school work. Neighbouring children benefited too.
