This Christmas give a gift that will make a lasting difference to a child in Uganda
It is that time of year again, and weeks of crowded high streets and frantic queues loom heavy on the horizon as we all rush to buy our loved ones Christmas presents. This year, why not replace the usual stocking fillers of socks or a tie with a gift that someone will really remember. Buy your friends and families a PEAS' alternative gift this Christmas, and you will be making a unique contribution to the education of a child in Uganda or Zambia.
Simply choose your gifts from the amazing selection below, and we'll send you a gift card which you can proudly present to the person you've bought it for. Job done!
TOP TIP: Our Alternative Gifts make the perfect present for that friend who has everything...
Give a gift of bricks and help us build new schools this year!
Basic school supplies, equipment and furnishings for classrooms help make buildings into a school. Give our students the opportunities they deserve by supporting them in the classroom.
At PEAS Schools we encourage students to celebrate their culture through traditional dance. The students need instruments and costumes to perform. This is the perfect gift for those who enjoy great entertainment.
For the sports enthusiasts on your list, give the gift of sport. Participating in sport helps young people to gain confidence, work together as a team, develop mutual respect and, above all, have fun!
The core work of our charity involves building affordable secondary schools for young Ugandans. For the DIY enthusiasts on your list, buy bricks, a toilet, a fuel-efficient stove, a classroom or even a whole school and help us get more young Ugandans into secondary school.
You can also make a one-off general donation or a regular commitment, which we will use to create permanent bursary places at PEAS schools for children orphaned by HIV and malaria. We will do this through investment in income-generating projects to produce sustainable revenue streams.
Is my money really spent on the gifts I choose?
All the gifts in this catalogue have been carefully chosen by PEAS after serious assessment of the needs of our schools and students. In keeping with our values and principals, we work with local builders and contractors and do our best to support local producers and business in purchasing the items listed here.
However, in some cases this means that it would not be appropriate to provide the exact gift you have chosen. Put simply: if our supporters have all chosen to purchase chairs, the school will of course need some desks to accompany those chairs and we will strive for a balance.
This means that we use your donation in the most effective way possible while keeping in line with your wishes. Making any monetary contribution towards PEAS schools means that you are effectively supporting the education of the next generation of Ugandans, who will be better placed to raise their own country out of poverty.
