How your wishes are granted The wishes in this gift catalogue have been chosen by consulting communities in need. Your purchase of a gift provides support for the project through which that gift is granted, empowering people to thrive. Should we receive more support than is needed for the project, we will grant a similar wish through another project or within the country or project area chosen. 2
