Alternative Gifts

Why not consider giving a present to a friend or one of your family in the form of a gift to Destiny Garden School. 

Gifts can range from £5 which will provide a child with drinking water during the school year, to £75 which pays for a teacher’s salary for one month, to £120 which will pay for the education of a child for a year.  See the list of gifts below.

This is the chance to buy an unusual and thoughtful gift - whilst also helping the children at Destiny Garden School to transform their lives.
