How Concern Gifts work

These aren’t just gifts, they’re life-changers!

When you choose a Concern Gift for someone special, you’re doing more than giving a thoughtful present - you’re joining a global movement that lifts up families facing poverty, conflict, and climate challenges in some of the world’s toughest places.

Each gift represents a real item or service, like avocados, clean water, or a goat, that Concern delivers through its life-changing programmes. And here’s the best part: it’s a gift that gives twice. Your kindness helps families overseas build brighter futures, and you get a beautiful gift card to share with your loved one, showing the incredible impact you’ve made together.

The Magic of Giving in Three Simple Steps:

1. Choose a life-changing gift.
From school kits for budding scholars to eco-stoves for the baker in your life, our online gift shop is packed with meaningful surprises for every budget and personality. Whether it’s pigs, blankets, or banana trees, each gift is designed to make a real difference for families overseas and delight your loved ones at home.

2. Send a beautiful card.
Once you’ve picked your gift, we’ll send you a gorgeous card for every gift you buy so you can add a personal message and deliver smiles near and far! Each card features a stunning image showing the joy this gift brings and explaining the impact of your gift. It’s up to you what type you’d like: a quality gift card posted out to you, an e-card version sent to you instantly, or a print at home version zapped straight to you to personalise as much as you’d like.

3. Change lives around the world.
Each gift supports one of Concern’s four powerful missions: Education, Emergencies, Health, or Livelihoods. Representing the best of the Christmas spirit, these gifts will help those who need it most and support families to overcome hardship and build a brighter future.

Real Impact: Eliza’s Story

For Eliza, a devoted mother in Malawi, hunger used to be a regular part of her life. “We had struggled with hunger. My children used to spend up to three days without food,” she shared. Life was a daily battle, and hope felt out of reach.

But everything changed with a little extra support from Concern.

Through Concern’s programmes, Eliza received goats and ducks - not just animals, but a lifeline. The milk and eggs they provided meant her children could eat regularly. But Eliza didn’t stop there with her animals! She bred her new animals, selling some at the local market, and used the income to grow maize and launch a small business.

Today, Eliza can also afford school supplies for her children. She’s not just surviving — she’s thriving. Her home is filled with laughter, learning, and the promise of a better tomorrow.

As Eliza puts it, “It has moved me out of troubles to a better life.”

This is the kind of magic your Concern Gift can spark. Whether it’s a goat, a school kit, or banana trees, your gift helps families like Eliza’s break the cycle of poverty and build a future filled with possibility.

Give a Gift That Keeps on Giving

Whether it’s €14 for a school kit or €40 for a goat, every Concern Gift is a step toward hope, dignity, and opportunity. So go ahead—wrap up a little life-changing magic this Christmas.
