Mother’s Day is fast approaching on Sunday 15 March. It’s a moment to celebrate the women in our lives who show up with care, strength and generosity every day.
This year, why not celebrate your mum with a charity gift that spreads that same kindness even further? With ActionAid’s Mother’s Day gifts, starting from just £12, you can honour someone special while supporting women and girls working to build stronger, safer communities around the world.
It’s a meaningful way to celebrate the love from mothers and other caregivers, by paying that kindness forward. Check out our Mother's Day gifts below.
-
1 Backpack gift (£12)
This practical gift with a powerful purpose provides a sturdy backpack, giving a child a safe way to carry their books and supplies every day.
-
2 Period pack (£20)
Periods don’t pause for crises. Without pads, clean underwear or soap, many girls use unsafe alternatives or miss school. Your gift can provide five girls with period packs within a safe and supportive space.
-
3 Baby kit (£45)
This baby kit gift could protect a vulnerable baby in times of emergency, with vital supplies like clothing, nappies and food.
-
4 Goat (£85)
In Burundi, a lack of quality soil and seeds has made it difficult for families to grow vital crops. But supplying them with a goat, to produce high-quality manure, can help a family grow crops and gain food security.
-
5 Midwife support (£100)
Pregnancy and childbirth don't stop during a crisis. This gift could enable a midwife to deliver life-saving care for a week.
-
6 Beekeeper training (£100)
Our beehive gift provides one farmer in Kenya with a beehive, which supports the nesting of honeybees while helping a woman and her family achieve financial security.
