Last year's "Wanteraktioun", organised by UNICEF Luxembourg in support of Syrian children, raised a total of €160,838.
Thanks to UNICEF donors and Cactus clients in 2019, €160,838 was raised in the framework of this winter action, the aim of which was to provide warm clothing to Syrian children. UNICEF Luxembourg donors provided €134,756 of this sum, whilst Cactus customers collected the additional amount of €26,082 during their checkout in Cactus stores.
The money raised will enable UNICEF to distribute warm clothing and blankets, support families in their efforts to heat their shelters and purchase essential goods and medicines. In addition, UNICEF is heating schools to ensure that children can continue their education during the winter months.
