Kids Helping Kids Around the World

Developed by CHF (formerly the Canadian Hunger Foundation), Kids Helping Kids Around the World allows the entire school to get involved in helping purchase the components of a community. Contact CHF and they will send you a kit to get started. By purchasing gifts that matter, your school will make a real difference!

Plant a Tree in Africa

You've heard of tree planting... but have you ever thought of planting a tree in Africa? Now you can! Trees are a source of life. Check out Canadian Physcians for Aid and Relief's (CPAR) website to learn more about why trees are so important to development and how you can help.

Adopt a Village

Through Free the Children's Adopt a Village program, your school can raise funds for school building projects, water and sanitation projects, or alternative income projects. Fundraise to purchase essential items likes desks, classrooms, sewing machines, wells and goats.

Celebrate for Change

Having a birthday party this year? Consider throwing a party for kids everywhere. Free the Children's new campaign, Celebrate for Change will help you make a difference while you party.

Gifts of Hope

Need to give a gift but not sure what to buy? Why not give a Gift of Hope. Plan Canada has a variety of gifts that you can purchase on behalf of someone. Imagine the look on your friend's face when they open up the gift only to find a bee keeping set inside! Or at least a note letting them know that someone who really needs it will receive their bee keeping set and will now be able to sell honey to generate income.

• girl child
• HIV/AIDS child
• child of war
• street child
