• Baby Scale Just $37
  Know a bouncing baby's weight and help it get everything a growing body needs. One of the best ways to identify underfed babies early is to track their weight.

In Africa, Malaria claims a child's life every 30 seconds, but with the use of something as simple as an insecticide-treated mosquito net, infection rates can be reduced by half. Your gift of 10 nets treated with a long-lasting insect repellent, will protect kids from mozzies while they sleep soundly.

• Football just $32
  Foster fast footwork, fitness, fun and friendship. Children everywhere love the world game and for $32 you can provide a durable leather football, complete with pump, and bring the beautiful game to children in refugee camps and other neglected corners of the world.
