You might be wondering: “How on earth will the goat I’ve bought get to a family in Africa? And will my gift actually cover the cost of getting it there?” Well, we’ve really thought about our unique gifts. That’s why when you buy a gift from our catalogue, not only will 90p in every £1 go directly towards buying the gift, you’re actually covering the cost of everything involved in getting your gift to the right home.

Here’s a glimpse of what that journey looks like:

We also want your charity gifts to go to the people who need them most. That sometimes means boxing a bit clever. For instance, everyone might go crazy buying water filters for a village in Africa, while at the same time other families there actually need a loo. That’s why we might use your gift to buy either what you’ve purchased (like a water filter) or to buy another water gift, depending on the need at the time. It’s how we make sure your gift has the maximum impact. If you’d like to know more, please drop us an email (info@samaritans-purse.org.uk) or give us a call (020 8559 2044).
