Alola Foundation Gift Certificates
Livelihood Gift Certificate
Offer opportunity, not charityBuy a $AU50 Livelihood Gift Certificate and give an East Timorese woman the opportunity to gain economic independence, to work and feed her family, to contribute to the development of her country.
As a result of violence and unrest in Timor-Leste, many households are headed by women , often in temporary camps or with host families. Many of these women are without means of support.
Money raised through the Alola Livelihood Gift Certificates provides tools, materials and support that enables women to earn a living in the textile trade, primarily sewing or weaving. Not only does this help women support their families, it also gives something equally important - hope.
This Christmas, give a gift that can make a real difference to the women of Timor-Leste.
Alola supports the principles of Fair Trade in all its work with Timorese producers.

Scholarship Gift Certificate
 To read. To write. To learn. You can give them the opportunity.
In Timor-Leste, two-thirds of the women aged 15-60 and almost half the men are illiterate, denied the opportunities in life that event he most basic reading and writing skills can give, and that we take for granted.
With your help, however, the next generation can look forward to better things - because your support of the Alola Foundation Scholarship program will help remove the economic and cultural barriers that keep so many young Timorese from starting and completing an education.
Buy a Scholarship Gift Certificate for $AU75.
This will provide a 12-month scholarship, supporting the costs of a full year's schooling, to a young Timorese girl or boy. Your help is urgently needed especially by young girls in rural areas.
The Scholarship you provide is a gift that lasts a lifetime. Please, purchase these scholarships on behalf of your friends and
loved ones this Christmas. They make wonderful gifts that keep on giving.

Maternity Packs Certificate
 In East Timor, the most dangerous thing a woman can do is get pregnant.Even amid the recent unrest in Timor-Leste, still the most dangerous thing a woman can do is get pregnant.
Up to 800 women per 100,000 do not survive childbirth, while 85 babies die in every 1000 live births.
Yet only 10% of women in East Timor give birth in a hospital.
Why? One reason is the mother's shame at not having basic supplies either for herself or for her new baby. The Alola `Maternity Packs' project aims to take away the cause of this shame and thus help reduce the high mortality rates for East Timor's mothers and their babies.
Buy a Maternity Packs Certificate for AU$25.
By purchasing a Maternity Packs Certificate you'll be providing a new mother with a Maternity Pack which includes the basic essentials for the mother and her baby - clothing, sanitary items and nappies - as well as important information on breastfeeding and postnatal care. Money raised from these Certificates will also support Alola's maternal and child health program to provide breastfeeding counselling, as well as funding community support to encourage these women to give birth in a hospital or health facility.
So this Christmas, purchase a gift on behalf of your friends and loved ones that keeps on giving.
Packs are produced in East Timor, promoting local employment and the local economy.
