Give a Gift That Truly Matters This Christmas: Rwanda Mission Trip Gift Catalog

 

Looking for a meaningful gift for the person who has everything—or that one relative who is impossible to shop for? This Christmas, skip the clutter and give a gift that changes lives!

 

Every project on our upcoming March 2027 mission trip to Rwanda relies on essential tools, classroom supplies, and equipment. By sponsoring an item from the catalog below in honor of a friend, teacher, or family member, you are helping transform classrooms, equip local women entrepreneurs, and build lasting community infrastructure. Whether you choose a $5 textbook or contribute toward a major community initiative, your gift brings real hope to families in Rwanda—and gives your loved one a Christmas present they will never forget.

 

Plus, every donation includes access to our free downloadable PDF Christmas cards, so you can easily print or email a festive card letting them know about the gift made in their honor!"
