The list of gifts is diverse, interesting and just the right length for you to find something appropriate. In each case, your gift will support good and humane deeds. Some will take place far away, and some in Slovenia. Some will make life better for people, while others will make life better for animals. In all cases, your decision will cause nothing but joy.

All of your money always goes solely to the cause of your choice. This is why the costs of processing each order and of sending the gift to the recipient are added to each separately and in a fixed amount of 5 EUR (VAT included). Umanotera guarantees that the money goes where it is intended.

Even within Slovenia, many children live in impossible conditions - whether at home or in children's homes and asylum centres. Children from less privileged environments can only dream of those things others take for granted: daytrips, various activities or travels to new places. We can help those children by providing them with a passage to a more carefree and beautiful world.

Adventurous Moments help less privileged children to overcome distress.

The province of Caquetá in Colombia is the home of the famous Amazon turtle. While once they lived in harmony with indigenous communities, these magnificent turtles are now under great threat of extinction due to increased demand for their meat and eggs by the local population and, in recent years, due to increased tourism. The poorer living conditions of indigenous communities have increased levels of poaching and trade in the Amazon turtle and put this animal on the endangered species list. We can help them by protecting the breeding area and managing conditions in their habitat.

Flying Amazons help to support the population of one of the oldest living species of reptiles.

Wars in former Yugoslavia have left behind more than two million mines and other dangerous unexploded ordnance, which can kill even decades after conflicts. Many victims are killed at the site of accident, while others survive with terrible consequences: limbs lost, blindness or other permanent consequences. Every cleared square metre of territory is valuable as it heals the land and allows agricultural or other activities and, of course, saves lives.

Singing Grass helps the people of Bosnia to gain back a normal life.

Dying, as much as birth is a necessary part of life. The incurably ill and their family members are often faced with unmanageable physical, psychological, social and spiritual challenges. At these times, they can benefit greatly from qualified volunteers who help family members in the time of loss, give meaning to the last months of a dying person and allow them a farewell in the warmth of a home.

Silent Friend can make a farewell easier and less painful for the dying and their families.

Approximately one third of the world's food harvest comes from plants that are pollinated by animals, with the biggest share contributed by bees. The mass disappearance of bees is therefore becoming an ever more significant problem in the world, as well as in Slovenia. We can take action and contribute towards preservation of a traditional Slovenian activity - with purchases of the equipment needed to increase the number of pollinators in Slovenia.

Delightful Buzz helps secure Slovenian bees from disappearing.

It is not clear how long we will be able to admire the 71 native species of trees in Slovenia. The wild service tree, true service tree, rowan, wild pear, wild apple, wild cherry and other species are a valuable habitat and source of food for wildlife, while the roots form a special symbiosis with various fungi. Planting of these rare tree species increases the diversity of forests and fields, and, as a result, helps us protect ecosystems and the typical Slovenian landscape.

Magic Crowns help to revive the natural environment of Slovenia.

Because of polluted water, 95 million inhabitants of Bangladesh are affected by arsenic, a toxic substance that can cause cancer and many other life-threatening diseases. We can offer a better chance of a healthier life for many of them with a simple filtration system. With persistent filters, we can assure at least 30 litres of purified water per hour.

Drops of Life help ensure drinking water for Bangladeshi people.

Within Slovenia, more than 4,000 animals are abandoned each year, mostly cats and dogs. Strays are left to fend for themselves and live their lives on the streets: 80-90 % of cats without owners never make it through the first year of their lives. A little attention can help over 90 % of stray cats; mostly through better integration and through finding new owners.

Mighty Paw helps abandoned cats to find a new way of life.

An astonishing 140 million children in the world do not have access to education as schools are still an unattainable luxury in some parts of the world. Although education increases life chances and sometimes even saves lives, it is the poorest people of our world that in most cases never finish school. With some good will we can help the children of Ghana.

ABC in Action can help children in Ghana to finish their schooling.

In Slovenia, several thousand children each year fall so ill that they need hospital care. Besides the illness itself, children also suffer from feelings of sadness, loneliness and fear, which can dampen their spirits and affect their recuperation. Children in at least 128 hospital beds in different Slovenian hospitals are suffering at any time. But, even sadness has its cure: special laughing doctors.

100% Laughter can help a sick, lonely or frightened child to smile.

Today, some species of whales, dolphins and porpoises are so endangered that in the next few years they may go totally extinct. The greatest responsibility for this situation rests on humankind, through pollution, fishing and the high number of cargo ships in the sea disrupting marine environments. The Slovenian seas have a unique opportunity to become a dolphin-friendly environment, above all through intensive research work: special monitoring and evaluation of visits of these impressive animals to our sea.

Song of the Dolphin can make our sea friendlier to marine mammals.

Before you can count to 60, tropical rainforest the size of four football pitches will be gone forever. Although this forest covers only 2 % of the world's surface, it is home to more than 50 % of the world's known animal and plant species. It is also a regulator of our climate, an important preventer of soil erosion, a home to millions of people and the source of more than 25 % of medicines in the world. Destruction can be prevented most effectively by purchase of the land.

Dancing Trees help to increase the area of protected tropical forests.

Today there are 3,000 registered orphans in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Of these, 1,100 are accommodated in institutions, where, due to the general conditions in the country, they cannot obtain all that they need. Children who experienced war horrors are especially vulnerable and therefore require more help. We can help them most with the things that cost the least, with experiences and materials that help them to live a better life.

Happy Pack can help a child without parents win back hope and happiness.

Life at 4,000 metres altitude is challenging, to put it mildly. Malnutrition and various other health problems among the people of Tibet are exacerbated by poverty, cold and remoteness. One of the illnesses facing remote areas is Kashin-Becks disease, which causes irregular and extreme growth of bones, most frequently of hands, upper arms and legs. Those affected can be helped by Tibetan traditional medicine and by greenhouses to grow organic vegetables.

Light of Hope can support effective healthcare for people from remote areas.
