Smiles that Travel Miles!

by Action Advisor on December 21, 2009

The warmth of a smile makes one feel wealth beyond possession and now you can send smiles that travel for miles with World Visions Smiles Gift Catalogue.

How it works: Each Smiles gift you buy represents the kind of activities World Vision will carry out on your behalf.

So, if you buy a duck or a market garden starter pack, for example, your contribution will go towards agriculture and environment work to help communities grow food for families and restore and improve their environments. Or if you buy a mosquito net or a toilet, you’ll be contributing to initiatives which help communities gain access to basic healthcare, water and sanitation.

You’ll also find gifts that represent education and training projects, work with Indigenous communities, emergency relief work, and programs to protect children from exploitation and abuse.

To find out more about which category a particular gift represents, click on the Your Gift Supports tab when looking at a specific gift.

Gift Registry: The Smiles gift registry is an alternative way to use the Smiles gift catalogue. Instead of creating a department store registry list for your wedding or other special occasion, you can choose gifts to help children, families and communities around the world.

There are 50 unique and useful gifts to choose from, starting at just $5. Each one could change someone’s life. Simply deselect the box beside any gift you don’t want on your list. Remember that the same gift can be chosen more than once by more than one guest – while you can have too many toasters, there’s no such thing as too many mosquito nets!

Once you create a gift list, we will send you gift cards to include when sending out invitations for your celebration. Guests can then go online and purchase gifts from your list. You can access your gift list at any time to view purchases and personal messages left by your guests.

Please note: Gifts from the registry can only be purchased online.
