SILVER SPRING Md.--The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) has released its new 2010 Really Useful Gift Catalog, a popular tool that helps supporters give the perfect holiday gift while providing people in need with food, water, education, health care, disaster assistance, and income generation training.

"We are happy to provide an opportunity for our supporters to donate to the projects of their choice," said Julio Muñoz, bureau chief for Marketing and Development at ADRA International. "We hope that many people will use ADRA's Gift Catalog to make a difference in someone's life this holiday season."

Featured in this year's edition are 60 projects that directly support individuals and their communities. These include helping girls stay in school in Tunisia; providing clean water and sanitation systems to tea pickers in Sri Lanka; giving shelter, food, medical care, counseling, and an education to street children in Bolivia; helping women in Indonesia start their own businesses; providing Braille training to children in Vietnam; and protecting albino schoolchildren in Tanzania through education.

Projects also support the recently launched enditnow™ campaign, a global awareness initiative co-sponsored by ADRA (to find out more, go to www.enditnow.org or click here to sign the petition) whose main goal is to put an end to all forms of abuse and violence directed at women and girls. By supporting one of more than a dozen projects stamped with the enditnow™ logo, donors can protect a girl or woman from female genital mutilation and sexual exploitation, and provide to them greater opportunities for self-advancement through education and livelihood training.

One hundred percent of each gift goes to the project of choice.

Gift certificates worth $10, $25, $50, and $100 are available. Request gift cards to let a person know that a contribution has been made in their name.

Donors can give with confidence knowing that ADRA has consistently received a top four-star rating from Charity Navigator, America's largest independent evaluator of more than 5,000 charities. ADRA also meets the highly regarded and exacting standards for charitable accountability of the Better Business Bureau.

ADRA's Really Useful Gift Catalog is available online at www.adra.org. To order free copies please call 1.800.424.2372 (ADRA).

ADRA is present in 125 countries, providing community development and emergency management without regard to political or religious association, age, gender, race, or ethnicity.
