How it Works
Giving a symbolic gift that packs real punch in the fight against global poverty has never been easier. Give water, a gift that has the power to change lives forever! Find out how:
Navigate through our unique interactive village to learn about the vital importance of each symbolic gift item in bringing clean drinking water and basic sanitation to those who need it most. Select the perfect gifts for your friends or family members in celebration of their birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, or other special holidays and occasions.
For every symbolic gift item purchased you receive your choice of animated e-card to send to your friend or family member notifying them that a gift has been made in their honour. Each ecard contains information about your gift and its life-changing impact. Complete the card with your own special touch by writing a personalized message.
Upon checking out of our secure online shopping and payment area your ecard is immediately sent to the gift recipient and an official receipt for income tax purposes is automatically sent to you electronically.
100% of funds raised through symbolic gifts purchased at www.giftsofwater.ca go toward supporting specific WaterCan projects in sub-Saharan Africa, bringing clean water, basic sanitation and hygiene education to those struggling to escape poverty. Once enough funds are raised for the designated project a new one is assigned. Track our progress or find out about our current Gifts of Water project now.
You are given the option of receiving electronic updates on the status of the "Gifts of Water" project you've helped to fund through your symbolic gift purchase. It's powerful and rewarding to see your gift in action and to share the encouraging updates with family and friends.
