Luxembourg non-profit organisation SOS Villages d'Enfants Monde has announced that it is joining "Giving Tuesday", an event which mobilises the public in response to Black Friday in favour of generosity and social commitment.

The aim is to raise awareness for the non-profit's work in favour of the most vulnerable children worldwide. These children lack parental care, live in crises situations and / or are not seeing their rights fulfilled. This is the case of little Miza (name changed for protection reasons), who lives in the South of Madagascar, which has been hit hard by famine, and who benefits from the aid of SOS Villages d’Enfants Monde in guaranteeing her well-being and her development.

The non-profit is currently involved in development and emergency response programmes as well as in different social, educational or environmental projects. In 2020, it supported 24 projects that benefited 29,189 children and adolescents, 17,162 adults and 2,110 families in fifteen countries.

However, many still need support. As such, SOS Villages d'Enfants is calling on the public for support, either by organising their own fundraiser or making a donation online at: https://www.givengain.com/cc/giving-tuesday-2021/?utm_source=sendinblue&utm_campaign=Giving%20Tuesday_2021%20-%20reminder&utm_medium=email.

Those wishing to support this cause can also spread the message on social media, using the hashtags #GivingTuesday and #NoChildAlone and tagging @sosvemlux.
