How do Practical Presents work?

Practical Presents work like this: you make a much appreciated donation for the gift you would like to send to a friend or loved one and we take care of the rest by sending a gift notification to you to pass on, or directly to the recipient. Meanwhile we put your donation to work straight away, helping to transform the lives of poor people overseas.

What do you receive?

We send either you or your loved one the Practical Present, whichever is more convenient for you.  The Practical Present is a lovely gift pack with further information and a photograph of the chosen gift and a FREE Nepalese bookmark keepsake, produced by women in Nepal. We will also include a message telling them who bought them the present.

How your gift could make a difference!

On the flood plains of Bangladesh, duck rearing is of vital importance to poor families who struggle to keep themselves and their animals afloat when floods strike. Fortunately this is not a problem for the Fluffy Ducks Practical Action helps to provide. When land is waterlogged, ducks can swim and continue to produce eggs that are nutritious and tasty. This means that families can remain healthy during the floods as well as continuing to gain an income to pay for food, clothing and other necessities.

He may just look cute and fluffy, but ducks like this little chap are invaluable in the battle against poverty.
