On average we work 260 days per year.
Donate Your Day empowers us to donate the salary of just one of these days to help and care for children who have been caught up in conflict.
Children affected by war are subject to unimaginable trauma, displaced from their home and robbed of their childhood. They are also placed at increased risk of abuse and exploitation such as being recruited by armed groups and being forced into child marriage or child labour.
Education is critical to help keep these children safe. By taking part in Donate Your Day you could personally support a child’s education, providing them with stability and allowing them to gain knowledge and skills that increase their chances of accessing opportunities in the future.
In 2022, Donate Your Day will not be limited to just one date, so please reach out to find out more about when and how we might work together to champion the movement at a time that best suits your organisation.
