Special Occasions

Commemorate a special occasion in a meaningful way by creating a lasting impact on the lives of children around the world. Donate to Free The Children’s programs and gift catalogue to celebrate a special day of yours or that of a loved one.

Birthdays

Across the globe, there are millions of children who don’t know when they were born and never have the opportunity to celebrate their birthdays. These kids are denied their basic human rights because they were never registered at birth. They’re known by development professionals as “invisible” because their governments don’t have any official record of their existence.

If you are planning on celebrating your birthday this year, consider donating a certain amount from your birthday budget to an Adopt a Village pillar. Let your birthday be cause for celebration for a child in need.

Weddings

Engagement Donation

Many diamonds in the world come from conflict regions of the world, earning them the negative name of conflict diamonds or blood diamonds. Consider donating the money you would spend on an engagement ring to Free The Children’s programs in Sierra Leone, a country that suffered through 11 years of civil war over control of diamonds. In lieu of adding fodder to devastating conflicts, you can commemorate your engagement by improving the lives of those who have been deeply affected by the diamond trade.

Wedding Donation

Let the love you share on your wedding day extend to communities in need. Encourage your guests to celebrate your marriage by turning your gifts into a donation to one of our Free The Children projects. Joy, selflessness and gratitude will always be bound to your celebration and the people who shared in it.

Wedding Keepsakes or Bombonière

Consider making a donation to Free The Children in lieu of wedding keepsakes and bombonieres for your guests. We’ll create a card for you that you can place at each table to share the message of your generosity and the impact it will make with each of your guests.
