TSN’s James Duthie and his daughter, Grace, visited their sponsored child Yideneku in Ethiopia just before the COVID-19 outbreak.

James was excited to give the family special gifts from Children Believe’s Gifts for Good catalogue. “Gracie and I have bought a couple of goats and a couple of chickens…. The goats provide milk — the chickens provide eggs. These goats will eventually breed and lead to more goats, which they can sell and really provide a sustainable income,” he explains in the video below.

This year’s edition of Gifts for Good includes more than 40 offerings, including eight new options and five that will be multiplied 5X in value.

Visit our online gift catalogue, and help provide for basic needs and an education that can change a child’s future for the better.
