Our Christmas gift guide
For Mum: give a temporary home to a family forced to flee
Families that have been forced to flee need a home where they can be safe and warm together. You can help provide new homes for displaced families.
Buy a gift for €40 today, and make sure that a family get a roof over their heads.
Your gift enables us to provide tents, repair damaged houses and build new homes for people fleeing war or disasters.
For Dad: give warm winter clothes to someone who really needs them
The winter cold can be relentless, and this year you can give Dad a gift that warms.
Displaced children and families are often forced to leave their homes with nothing more than the clothes on their backs. When the freezing temperatures, snow and icy winds of winter set in, it is vital that children get help to keep warm.
For €60, you can give an entire family warm winter clothes.
For your brother: give displaced children a better start in life
Children who have been forced to flee are extremely vulnerable. NRC provides them with security and aid packages containing the things they need to thrive, plus we help mothers take care of their little ones.
Older children receive education, clothes and protection against the winter cold – as well as help to process their traumatic experiences.
For €35, you can give displaced children a better start in life.
For your partner: give a stove to heat a temporary home
Give your partner a gift that saves lives in the winter cold.
Displaced children are vulnerable. Many live in tents or houses with no heating. When the freezing temperatures, snow and icy winds of winter set in, a simple heating stove can make the difference between life and death.
For €30, you can give a family a heating stove.
For your child: give school books to displaced children
For children who have experienced war and crisis, school provides security and hope for the future.
Education is one of the most important things a displaced child can receive. NRC ensures that children receive school books and other learning materials. By helping them learn to read, write and do maths, we give them a better chance of getting a good job when they grow up.
A set of school books costs €35.
For your grandparents: give protection to girls and women
Girls who have been forced to flee are among the most vulnerable. Many are at risk of missing out on school, exposing them to violence and recruitment by armed groups.
We make sure that more displaced girls can return to school and receive education and protection.
With a gift of €25, you can help displaced girls get a place in school and receive protection.
For your aunt and uncle: give blankets to a family to keep them warm
Your gift to your aunt and uncle can provide a family with protection from the freezing cold.
A number of the countries where NRC works, such as Afghanistan, Syria, Ukraine and Iraq, have severe winters. Many children and families have to spend the winter in tents, in shacks made of thin sheet metal, or in houses with no windows.
For €25, you can give an entire family warm blankets to protect them from the cold.
For your sister: give a goat for Christmas
Families who have been forced to flee often lack both food and income. With a gift to your sister, you can give a family the opportunity to be self-sufficient.
Goats are hardy animals that provide families with both milk and meat. Goats can also be bred and sold so that families can earn an income and buy what they need. NRC provides access to food and helps families to manage on their own in the longer term.
A goat for a family costs €40.
When you buy a gift that saves lives, you give two gifts in one. You help children and families that have been forced to flee by war and crises, and you give someone a lovely gift card that is sure to make them happy.
