CEN Honor Gifts
This holiday season, consider giving the unique and meaningful gift of empowerment to friends and family, a gift that reflects how special they are. Or ask others to give a CEN Honor Gift to you.
CEN Honor Gifts will make a lasting impression on the people in your life. And they won't get stored in the attic or closet with the other "stuff" they get this year.
Because CEN doesn't give handouts, your gift doesn't buy a cow or a well, like at some other organizations. Instead, your gift pays for activities which will break the cycle of poverty by empowering residents and their communities to solve problems for themselves.
When you give this gift in honor of friends and family members, they will receive a card from CEN informing them of your gift. Your contribution in their name will bring opportunity and empowerment to people in need. It is a unique, thoughtful, and inspirational way to tell friends and family you care.
