Every year, ADRA’s Gift Catalog inspires generosity by offering meaningful ways to change lives around the world. From clean water to safe homes for orphans, these gifts are more than symbolic—they bring hope, dignity, and opportunity to families and communities.
As we launch our new Gift Catalog this October, here are the seven most popular gifts donors chose last year—and why they matter.
Clean Water
Every 90 seconds, a child dies from a water-related disease. With the gift of clean water, families gain access to safe drinking water through wells, filters, and other sustainable solutions
- Children stay healthy instead of battling preventable illnesses.
- Parents spend less time searching for water and more time building a future.
- Entire communities thrive when the burden of unsafe water is lifted.
Goats
A goat can change everything for a family in poverty.
- They provide milk for nutrition.
- Generate income through dairy sales.
- Produce fertilizer that boosts crop yields.
With just one goat, families can eat better, earn more, and create a cycle of self-reliance.
Home for Orphans
Every child deserves safety and love. Yet millions of children around the world live without parents or a safe place to sleep.
Your gift helps build secure housing for orphans, giving them more than shelter! They are able to have:

- Safe shelter.
