International Day of Charity
International Day of Charity encourages people worldwide to take part in charitable acts and raise awareness of philanthropy every September 5.
Established by the United Nations in 2012, the International Day of Charity honors the legacy of Saint Mother Teresa on the anniversary of her passing. The day aims to promote charitable activities, volunteer work, and fundraising events across the globe. NGOs, governments, and individuals organize campaigns to support causes such as poverty alleviation, healthcare, and education. The observance raises public awareness about the role of charity in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It highlights the impact that small acts of kindness can have on communities in need. Each year the UN selects a theme to focus global attention on critical social issues. This day serves as a reminder that collective generosity can drive positive change.
