Thoughtful Christmas Gifts For Every Person in Your Life

This Christmas, we have your holiday shopping covered! Water Mission’s Gift Catalog has a myriad of gift ideas for every person in your life, even those who seem to have everything. 

Gift Ideas for Health-Conscious People 

Your loved one knows the value of health, and your gift in their honor can help others experience health through access to safe, clean water.  

For people like 14-year-old Renatal, receiving safe water access in Huta Rihit, Indonesia, meant more than just having good water to drink. She saw an immediate change in her health and her daily productivity when she wasn’t walking for her water. 

Gift Ideas for Tech Lovers 

For the tech-savvy person in your life, you can give a gift in their honor that will build best-in-class safe water solutions, such as Erosion Chlorinators and solar equipment. 

Erosion Chlorinators: To treat contaminated water, Water Mission uses the Erosion Chlorinator—a unique water treatment device that requires no electricity, needs minimal maintenance, has low operating expenses, and is simple to operate.  

Solar Equipment: In many areas where we work, electricity is unavailable or unreliable. Solar energy is a reliable, sustainable, and affordable solution. Water Mission has installed more than 1,600 solar-powered water systems around the world, delivering safe water to remote communities.  

Gift Ideas for Pastors and Church Leaders 

You can give your pastor or small group leader a gift that supports the worldwide spread of the gospel through church leader training and audio Bibles. 

CCMP Training for Church Leaders: In many communities, pastors do not have the opportunity to receive a biblical education. Our nine-module Church and Community Mobilization Program (CCMP) equips church leaders with sound biblical knowledge and tools to share the gospel and disciple believers. 

In Touch Messenger Audio Bible: We partner with In Touch Ministries to distribute the In Touch Messenger, a handheld, solar-powered audio device loaded with the Bible in local languages. Church leaders are trained to use the audio Bibles to create listening and discipleship groups. 

Gift Ideas for Teachers, Nurses, and Doctors 

The teachers and healthcare workers in your life know how quickly germs spread and how easily kids can get sick. You can give them a gift that will build health around the world through the installation of handwashing stations and latrines in schools and clinics. 

Handwashing Stations: In many communities, we install handwashing stations in central areas like schools, churches, and clinics. We also train local volunteers to teach their neighbors where germs originate and how to stop their spread with effective handwashing. 

Latrines: Water Mission partners with communities to build latrines and sustainable structures to house them in homes and schools. The Healthy Latrine provides privacy and a toilet that needs only a little water and no electricity, restoring dignity to families. 

Gift Ideas for Humanitarian Workers 

Your loved one is always on the front lines serving others, so give them a gift that reassures them that people’s needs are being met. Your gift in their honor will help people impacted by disasters through hygiene supplies and emergency water treatment solutions. 

Hygiene Kits: When people experience a natural disaster or humanitarian crisis, they often struggle to meet their most basic needs, including hygiene. Hygiene kits contain soap, toilet paper, toothpaste, and more—essential items for someone whose life has been forever changed by disaster.  

Emergency Water Treatment Solutions: Our professional Disaster Assistance Response Team is trained to get safe water flowing quickly in any scenario. One way they do that is by installing our compact, travel-ready treatment systems, which are engineered for quick deployment and sustainable, long-term operation. 

Gift Ideas for the Person With a Heart for Refugees, Immigrants, and Displaced Peoples 

You can give them comfort by providing hope to refugees in their honor through water quality testing and trauma healing training. 

Water Quality Testing: Testing water in our projects on a regular basis ensures that all water we supply is safe, even for the most vulnerable populations, like refugees. We have rigorous water testing procedures that measure turbidity, pH, salinity, chlorine, bacteria, and more. 

Biblical Trauma Healing Training: Natural disasters and humanitarian crises can force people to leave their homes in search of safety, an event that can cause deep emotional and spiritual wounds. In East Africa, our Living Water program is tailored to minister to refugees. We equip local church leaders to help men, women, and children work through the emotional, mental, and spiritual struggles caused by their circumstances.  

Gift Ideas for Travelers 

Your loved one is passionate about countries and cultures. Give them a gift that brings safe water, sanitation, and hygiene solutions to people in one of the eight countries we work in—Honduras, Indonesia, Kenya, Malawi, Mexico, Peru, Tanzania, or Uganda.
