Gifts in Kind

Do you or your company have supplies you would like to donate? We can help you make sure they get to the people around the world who need them most. When you provide materials such as medical equipment, food, and other needed items, your donation will be rushed to help people survive — people like refugees, victims of disaster, and families affected by famine.

Needed items:

• New or useable medical equipment
• New clothing and shoes
• Pre-packaged, dehydrated foods
• Therapeutic foods and vitamins
• Hygienic supplies
• School supplies and equipment
• Toys and games

Items we cannot accept:

• Used clothing or shoes

• Perishable foods
• Unusable equipment or supplies

How does it work?

World Help’s product distribution strategies are carefully crafted to benefit local populations without disrupting their economies or existing donor product sales in the region. We take careful measures to ensure that the products provided by our donors (YOU!) reach men, women, and children who need them most, and all giving risks are mitigated.

When you donate products from your business, you send a clear message of corporate social responsibility to your customers — ultimately strengthening your brand.

When you provide gifts in kind, you’ll receive consistent communication to help you know the status of your goods, where they will be sent, and even hear stories from people who benefited thanks to your donation.

Want to do more to ensure the physical goods you provide get to people as soon as possible?

You can also help cover the cost of shipping your items internationally to the people who need them most. Any amount you give will help send the goods you provided to families in urgent need. Learn more by clicking here.

Gifts in Kind in Action

Countries that receive aid

Guatemala

About six in 10 Guatemalans live below the poverty line with even higher rates in the remote mountain villages.

Nicaragua

An ongoing economic crisis has left many families unable to afford food and other daily needs.

Cuba

Cuba’s location makes it vulnerable to devastating hurricanes that can leave people without access to food and clean water.

Iraq

Widespread violence has displaced many from their homes and created massive food shortages.

Uganda

Uganda is home to many South Sudanese refugees, including orphaned children who have no way to provide for themselves.

Nepal

Nepal is the second poorest nation in Asia and is also ranked among the most impoverished countries in the world.

Honduras

This is the second poorest country in Central America, leading to an alarmingly high child mortality rate.

Haiti

One in every five children in this extremely impoverished nation is malnourished.

Rwanda

More than half of all Rwandans live in extreme poverty, struggling to survive on less than $1.25 per day.

Peru

People living in remote villages along the Amazon River lack basic medical care, clean water, and other essentials.

Zimbabwe

Approximately 72 percent of Zimbabwe’s population live in poverty and can’t afford basic necessities.

Jordan

Jordan has one of the world’s highest refugee populations, with many of these people dependent on the generosity of others.

Zambia

According to the Global Hunger Index, Zambia is one of the 10 hungriest countries in the world.

Venezuela

Venezuela’s unstable economy has caused food prices to skyrocket, so the average family can’t even afford a loaf of bread let alone medical care or new clothes.

Tanzania

Severe droughts have disrupted Tanzania’s harvests for the past two years, and now the coronavirus pandemic has only added to their challenges. Most families have suffered financially because of the virus and lockdowns.

Burundi

Burundi has been one of the poorest countries in the world for decades, and it mainly relies on agriculture for their sustainability. But since they are facing more droughts than ever before, local farmers can’t grow and provide for their families.
