Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to send certificates and e-cards to multiple addresses and email addresses. However, if you are buying a large gift as a group, and would like to send the e-card to more than one person, you can send the e-card to yourself, and then forward the email to the rest of the group.
If you donate a Tube Well, Dig-a-Well or Community Well, you will receive an update once it has been completed. For general feedback on other items, please email us.
This is dependent on the GCG. For some projects, you will be able to select your location, while other projects have fixed locations. For example, olive trees are only planted in Palestine, whereas our water projects are run across several different countries. The available locations are listed on each item’s page.
When you buy a GCG your friend or family member will receive a gift card explaining the gift and how it will help transform the lives of people living in poverty.

You can choose to send a gift card or an e-card and can add a personal message. Then we will send the gift card directly to your friend or family member, and your the GCG item will go to a person in need. If you prefer, the gift card can be sent to your home so that you can give it to the recipient in person.
If you deliver your certificate via email, yes, they will be able to see your name as the donor. If you would like to remove this option, please email us as soon as possible during working hours, so we can remove your name.

As for post, the recipient will not know who gifted them, unless you mention your name in the message.
No! They will only see their name and the message you include. Please refer to FAQ 'Will the recipient know who gifted them?' for further information on this.
