BRandA supports community development – GIFTS THAT KEEP ON GIVING
Thinking about your Christmas gift list? Looking for a birthday gift? Consider a gift choice that will not only delight the recipient, but will keep on giving by building community capacity either through education, employment, or sustainable development, long after the celebratory occasion is over.
The School of St Jude is an Australian charity operating in Tanzania in East Africa, whose mission is to fight poverty through education. They are providing a quality education for 1600 of the poorest and brightest children of Arusha. By sponsoring a child’s education, sponsoring a teacher’s salary, or a school bus, or simply making a donation for class textbooks or a barrel of fresh vegetables, you can help break the cycle of poverty for Tanzanian children and their families.

Or consider supporting Community Projects Worldwide. They focus on empowerment through employment and work with over 40 different community groups in Africa, Australia, Bali, Thailand, Peru, Phillipines, and Madagascar. By purchasing one of the handcrafted products made by a member of one of these disadvantaged communities you will be contributing to the long term livelihood and wellbeing of their entire family through employment opportunities.
