World Vision UK
World Vision UK is a charity that gives to the poor in many different ways. One of the many ways is helping the impoverished and poor in Africa. There are many ways to help them, but the way we chose last year and are choosing for this option again this year, is to buy them actual merchandise. These can be things such as oxen, goats, school supplies, and more! For more on what we could purchase, check out this page:
