How Gifts of Elevation work.
Every gift is one grain of sand.
Each gift is something a community chose. A grain is £10, and every grain counts. Together we fund the big dreams, like water for a whole school, and the everyday ones, like a football kit, so no child goes without. You get a card to give, and when the goal is reached, the community buys it locally.

From a football kit to water for the dry season.
Your grain counts
One grain or a handful. Every one moves the goal.
You get the card
Illustrated or Christmas, with your message, ready to send or print.
