Is your Mum a peach? Are you the apple of her eye?

This Mother’s Day show Mum she is a peach by giving a range of fruit tree seedlings to families living in poverty through ChildFund New Zealand Gifts that Grow.This Mother’s Day show Mum she is a peach by giving a range of fruit tree seedlings to families living in poverty through ChildFund New Zealand Gifts that Grow.

For just $28, ChildFund will provide a range of apple and peach tree seedlings that give long-lasting help to children and families in developing countries. Packed with vitamins, fruit is a wholesome part of children’s diets and provides an additional source of income for families.

ChildFund New Zealand National Director Paul Brown says fruit trees are especially important in areas where drought makes other types of food crops difficult to grow.

“The fruit trees are proven survivors as they’re hardy and grow well in the native soil of areas where these families live, such as the highlands of Ethiopia. The trees also offer shade and protection from the hot sun while fallen and pruned branches provide fuel.

“Kiwi mums will appreciate the multiple benefits that fruit trees can provide for children, no matter what country they’re in,” adds Mr Brown.

Purchasers receive a special gift card to give to Mum that details the gift and explains how it will benefit the recipients.

Kiwis can find a range of thoughtful gifts to celebrate Mother’s Day – and many other occasions – from ChildFund’s Gifts that Grow selection.  To order visit www.childfund.org.nz or call 0800 223 111.
