Oxfam Unwrapped is a great new way to buy presents for that friend who has everything! Your friend gets a card, and a poor community gets something they need to help them survive. You can buy anything from school dinners to trees, building materials or even goats. They are all needed by communities in poorer countries to help them work their way out of poverty.

We thought you might be interested to see what happens when a poor community receives a ‘gift’ from a person or a group of people in the UK. You might be surprised at how important a goat can be! Or how essential it is for Oxfam staff to have a satellite phone.
