Why not create a virtual village?

You decide what goes into your virtual village - maybe a few chickens, a vegetable garden and a water supply? Raising funds to buy World Gifts can be an inspiring way to teach children and young people about people living in poverty.

Students at All Hallows Catholic College in Macclesfield give some World Gifts fundraising tips

It’s really easy... simply choose what you want to buy, think of creative and fun ways of how you want to fundraise, and then order your gifts. Here are some ideas:

Create a Virtual Village and use the website to select gifts (or the catalogue) for it as a whole school

Create a display of your village in the school hall using our posters and resources below.

Learn about the issues behind the gifts with your pupils, using our stories of how World Gifts make a difference – maybe create your own reflection?
