A Unique Opportunity to Give: A WorldVision Giveaway

November 29, 2010

Today, as we approach the end of the 30 Day Giving Challenge, we are partnering with World Vision to offer a unique prize package that supports women and families around the world, giving them a hand up out of poverty.

World Vision is a Christian relief, development, and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice. As an organization, World Vision is dedicated to working with the world’s most vulnerable people and serves all people regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or gender.

I love how they summarize their vision:

Our vision for every child, life in all its fullness; Our prayer for every heart, the will to make it so.

Many of the donations to World Vision’s Maximum Gift Fund, which provides for the unique needs of children and families worldwide, also include a special gift to keep or give to someone else, such as the tumbler, bracelet or book that are included in the prize package below!

As part of the 30 Day Giving Challenge, I will be donating prize package I received and we’ll be choosing an entrepreneur to support with the micro loan gift card.

One Saving & Giving reader will also win a World Vision prize package to keep or donate, including:

  • World Vision Acrylic Tumbler
  • A Ugandan Bracelet, handcrafted in Uganda by women actively engaged in caring for children in their communities who have lost parents to AIDS.
  • The Hole In Our Gospel by Richard Stearns
  • $25 World Vision Micro Gift Card to help a hardworking entrepreneur by funding their small business loan — to buy a sewing machine, a bicycle, training, or whatever will put their families on the pathway to success.
  • A Thai Coin Purse, handmade in Thailand by women in World Vision job training projects (color may vary).

To Enter:

  • Leave a comment below (required entry): What would you do with the World Vision prize pack?

    I’d love to read the book. And I think I’d keep the rest of it, other than the donation, and use it to tell people about World Vision.
