A small gift can make a world of difference... Imagine a world in which orphaned and vulnerable children no longer worry about where their next meal will come from, or how they can get access to basic healthcare and education. WYI is making a real difference and you can help! Here's your opportunity to make a practical contribution to create brighter futures for people living in severe poverty. World Youth International (WYI) is a South Australian based charity operating since 1988. WYI specialises in community development projects and short term overseas volunteer programs, impacting the lives of thousands of people in Australia and overseas each year. WYI is committed to strengthening communities and reducing poverty and injustice through sustainable development projects. WYI's major community infrastructure projects include the building, ongoing development and support of schools and children's homes (orphanages) in Kenya and Nepal. The WYI School in Nepal was established in 1999 and is attended by almost 500 students ranging from Kindergarten to Year 10. In 2001, the Sapana Dreaming Children's Home was built adjacent to the school. Together with the Owiti Children's Home in Kenya, built in 2004, they provide orphaned children with a loving home, health care and education. WYI is a non profit, non religious and non political organisation, signatory to the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID), approved by AusAID and registered with the Department of Education, Employment & Workplace Relations. WYI also has DGR status for tax deductibility with the Australian Taxation Office. Items in the WYI Gift Catalogue address critical needs in areas including health, education and income generation. They are distributed under the supervision of our specialist in-country staff with assistance from Australian volunteers. Volunteers participating in WYI's programs are involved in "hands on" projects including work-skills training, education, healthcare and construction. This provides a fabulous opportunity for them to contribute to sustainable projects and witness the positive impact the "gifts" have on communities in rural Kenya and Nepal. The gift of a sheep providing nutrition and a source of income, or a blanket and teddy offering warmth and comfort are simple gifts that can be life changing for needy families and children. Solve all your gift-giving problems for family, friends and work colleagues by purchasing something that benefits those less fortunate. The higher value items provide an excellent opportunity for a group gift and as our "gifts" are tax deductible, we are able to issue separate receipts. Take up a collection and you could build a house! These items are perfect for Christmas, Birthdays, Mother's Day, Weddings...in fact, any occasion at all. So go ahead and purchase a life changing gift that makes a REAL difference. To Place Your Order - To order online - click on 'Online Gift Catalogue'.
