Presents for the Future

Mother Care Parcel

An expectant mother's joy can quickly fade to fear without proper pre- or post-natal care. Buy a Mother Care parcel and you'll give both mother and baby safety - and ensure a new baby gets the best start in life.

"When I got pregnant, it did not bring me joy. We became stressed and worried. MWB's visit brought hope, love and advice to help us through our fears." Nadeja before having baby Anxhela, Albania

Hot Meal for a Month

One of our most basic needs is food. To survive, many inEastern Europehave to choose daily between buying food or heating. Give someone who is in desperate need a hot, nutritious meal everyday for a month, and you'll meet their most basic need.

Wood for Fuel

Wood is a vital source of fuel for both heating and cooking inEastern Europe. During winter many live in fear of the cold and not eating. With a gift of fuel wood you will give warmth, sustenance and peace of mind. Wood is always gathered sustainably and transported locally, so you'll also help the local economy.

"I wake up at night fearful. I don't know how we will face this winter with the small amount of wood we have." Constantin, father of three, Moldova.

Family Pack of 5 Bibles

Many in Eastern Europe cannot afford to buy their own Bible; some have never even seen one. Give the Word of Life to a family or child, and nourish those hungry to learn more of God. 

"The Holy Bible is very important for me. It is the Book of Books that helps us live in harmony and love one another. Everyone should have a Bible." Feodor, aged 85.

Seeds of Hope

Buying seeds for families to plant their own vegetables gives them a lifeline: fresh vegetables improve poor families' diets, and help them move towards self-sufficiency as they grow extra to sell.

"The peas, potatoes and cabbages provided such a good yield that we have enough for the whole season. This is an enormous help to our family." Ferzija, mother of four, Albania.

5 Chickens

For families with little land to grow crops or rear livestock, poultry is the best solution. Just one hen can lay up to 200 eggs a year, providing essential protein for all the family, and a source of income.

"It's all down to the chickens. Life used to be really hard for us, but now we rejoice that we can help others." Viorel, father of three, Moldova

Ten Chickens

For families with little land to grow crops or rear livestock, poultry is the best solution. Just one hen can lay up to 200 eggs a year, providing essential protein for all the family, and a source of income.

"It's all down to the chickens. Life used to be really hard for us, but now we rejoice that we can help others." Viorel, father of three, Moldova

Piglet

It's more than just a pig! Giving a pig means you're giving families and orphanages the opportunity to develop skills in animal husbandry; to gain an income by selling the piglets; to have essential food.

Cow

A cow will give a family a way out of poverty. Milk, butter and cheese can improve a family's diet, reduce their food bills and give them something to sell or exchange for goods.

Hand Tools

Many families in Eastern Europe have their own land but no tools to tend their crops. Buy a family basic agricultural equipment and help them work the land to provide for themselves. This gift gives more than the opportunity to grow their own food, it gives dignity and self respect.

Mini Farm

MWB works with many families who have land but cannot afford to build a barn or greenhouse, purchase livestock or seed. This gift will provide all a family needs to build and run their own mini-farm. You'll be setting up a family for long-term sustainability.

"These piglets will grow, multiply and we will sell them. We're making a good start at becoming self-sufficient." Andrei, father of two, Moldova.

Five Sets of Bed Linen

Sleeping in fresh sheets that belong to us is something we take for granted. But when your family shares one room, with several people to a bed, or a young person in a Home possesses little, sleeping in your own new sheets can make such a difference - and give dignity.
