International Day of Charity 2024; September 5th.

FORUM: “Call the world to act with solidarity and compassion.“ International Day of Charity 2024. By encouraging social responsibility, we will better understand the needs of the most vulnerable to help the international community move forward. The United Nations system comprises many funds, programmes and specialized agencies, each of which have their own area of work, leadership and budget. The programmes and funds are financed through voluntary rather than assessed contributions. The Specialized Agencies are independent international organizations funded by both voluntary and assessed contributions. The United Nations coordinates its work with these separate UN system entities, which cooperate with the Organization to help achieve the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development, which recognises the barriers that poverty places on international development.
