Chances are, if you’re reading this, your life is pretty good. COVID or no COVID, your family is safe, you have your home and, if you look at your Amazon history, we bet you’ve placed at least 100 orders this year. We all know, though, that not everyone is as fortunate. What if you could make a child’s holiday season with $100? Well, you can with these charities for the holidays.
The Charity: Singita Lowveld Trust
You may think of safari when you see Singita, but they are really a conservation company, that creates the most mindblowing experiences in order to support their conservation mission. As a collateral benefit to their conservation works, they feed, train and employ the local populations in their communities. Singita supports over 400 families in the Sabi and Kruger National Parks
What $100 will give: A food parcel that will feed a beautiful family in Africa for ONE MONTH. Yes, you read that correctly.

The Charity: PSE
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Pour un Sourire d’Enfant (PSE) started with two volunteers who saw children eating and living in garbage dumpsters in Phnom Penh, and who gave them clean clothing and meals, and has evolved into one of the most impactful charities over the course of 20 years, and over 10,000 children’s lives changed for the better. PSE works with the most destitute of families in Cambodia to provide them with education and a safe environment to develop a vocation.
What $100 will give: Education, food and a chance in life for a child.
