We get lots of requests like this of people wanting to purchase gifts in the UK and send them out to Zimbabwe for their children, however, this is unfortunately not something that we are able to facilitate. Shipping costs are very expensive, and we do not have the funds to cover these costs, and where the sponsor would cover costs themselves, there is a high risk of items being intercepted at customs and not reaching the child, or unofficial customs fees being requested. We therefore advise that if you wish to give a gift to your sponsored child, that you contact the team on 01183271154 or sponsor@creatingbetterfutures.org.uk and they will advise you to make a bank transfer or online donation of an amount (£10, £20, £30 etc). The team in Zimbabwe will then be informed that this money has been sent for a specific child, and they will purchase a gift for the child. If you do not specify what you want the gift to be, the team will choose a relevant gift for that child. Common gifts are new school uniforms, school shoes, toiletries, food bags etc.
