Ducks provide families with eggs that can be eaten or sold at market. Some are kept to breed which in turn produce more eggs. Many of the people who receive a duck are carers for family members, orphans or vulnerable children affected by HIV and AIDS. The gift of a duck really makes a huge difference to the entire family.

“The distribution of ducks to vulnerable households provides an alternative source of income and an improved diet. This creates access to cash to pay for schooling and medical costs, and leads to better nutritional outcomes.” Charmaine Cônsul Gonçalves, Oxfam Coordinator.

A brilliant gift idea! Make your friends and family smile with this unusual gift from Oxfam Unwrapped. And you'll be giving someone in the developing world a happier, brighter future.
