As Cork societies participating in Charity Week 2024, we’re calling on all of our friends and family to get involved in supporting us in raising as much as we can for Orphans and Children in Need.

Aligned with the Charity Week vision, Cork institutions and societies have decided to team up fundraising efforts between 3 UCC societies (Bangladesh Soc, Pakistani soc and Islamic Soc) and the MTU Islamic society. United we can !!

This year, Charity Week has pledged to donate over €1mil that is raised to the people of Palestine. Additionally, we also aim to support emergency aid and water projects in other countries, which are currently suffering from ongoing war and the world's largest humanitarian crisis.

Children globally are also living in refugee camps, traumatized by war or simply unable to go to school in their local community due to crippling poverty, these children lack the means to keep safe at home, access critical education and medical and psychosocial care. Their futures look unsafe, uncertain and bleak.

Our decision is not to choose between which children should be helped more and instead, by raising funds as a collective community of Charity Week-ers globally, we choose them all. United we can.
