Gift certificates
Give your loved ones a contribution to one of Biovision’s priority projects – a meaningful gift that is always appreciated!
We will gladly send a certificate listing the donated amount and name of the beneficiary to your address so that you can then give it as a gift. Please pay for the donated amount here and include the name of the chosen certificate as a message.
Climate certificate for the project “Seed for combatting climate change”
In Kenya’s Vihiga region, smallholder farmers struggle daily with the effects of soil erosion and extreme weather. Climate change and insecure land conditions make it increasingly difficult for many to ensure food security for their families. Through this project, you provide access to high-quality seeds and sustainable farming methods that enrich the soil and ensure stable yields. This helps smallholder farmers increase their income and build a secure future, even in uncertain times.
Peace certificate for the project “Center for Agroecology”
In many regions of Tanzania, tensions between herders and smallholder farmers have escalated over the past decades. Conflicts over land and resources threaten the existence of many families, often leading to loss and displacement. With your gift, you support a project that fosters collaboration and a sustainable circular economy to promote peace. Through shared markets and adapted methods in agriculture and livestock management, a new way of coexistence can emerge – a contribution toward a secure future.
Bees certificate for the project “Beekeeping and Mangrove protection in Zanzibar”
In Zanzibar, the protection and reforestation of the unique mangrove forests are combined with a meaningful source of income: beekeeping. With your gift, you support a project that creates a sustainable livelihood for people through beekeeping while protecting the mangroves from deforestation by introducing multifunctional trees. The bees gather nectar, and farmers gain wood and bee forage from the trees – a harmonious connection that preserves nature and strengthens awareness for a green future.

Event donations
Are you celebrating a birthday, wedding, anniversary, or any other occasion, whether in a private or business setting? An event donation offers you the opportunity to collect donations instead of gifts.
You have 2 options for collecting donations from your events:
- You collect the donations yourself and transfer the collected amount to us with a note (“Birthday Jane Doe”). You can find payment options here.
- You can distribute Biovision QR deposit slips at your event, which we will be happy to send to you by post. Your guests can thus make a donation to Biovision themselves and receive a donation receipt for the tax authorities. We will then send you a list of donors.
Feel free to contact us for further questions or if you would like supplementary documents, such as Biovision magazines, annual reports or a small gift (such as Post-it notepads or Biovision pens) for your event.

Inheritances and legacies
Giving confidence and strength to future generations – for a healthy life in harmony with our planet.
