Erikshjälpen Second Hand donates the daily cash to Världens Barn - for the 25th year!
On Saturday, October 4, donate all our stores will donate their daily cash registers to Radiohjälpen's fundraising campaign Världens Barn. This year also marks the 25th anniversary of Erikshjälpen's collaboration with Radiohjälpen.
Erikshjälpen's contribution to Världens Barn
Since its inception 25 years ago, Erikshjälpen Second Hand has contributed over 50 million Swedish kronor (SEK) to projects for children all over the world.
Last year, the stores sold for 3,280,072 Swedish kronor (SEK), a fantastic sum that we hope to surpass as we celebrate our anniversary.
The money goes to Erikshjälpen's projects in Bangladesh
The money from Erikshjälpen Second Hand and other collections through Världens Barn goes, among other things, to Erikshjälpen's projects in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh is a country severely affected by climate disasters. There, we are working with the local organization Friendship to enable children, especially girls, to continue going to school despite floods, long school distances and the risk of child marriage.
How to celebrate the World's Children in our stores
Many of our stores around the country draw attention to the World's Children in different ways. Tip walks, drawing workshops, fish ponds or something extra tasty in Uncle Erik's Kafé are some examples of what the stores organize.
By shopping in the stores, you always contribute to giving children around the world a better future, but on October 4 it will also be a festive experience.
- In our stores there is a great drive to want to make a difference," says Jerker Sandell.
The World's Children campaign gives us another opportunity to engage and do more for children around the world.
Världens Barn is Radiohjälpen's largest fundraising campaign and is a collaboration between Swedish Television, Swedish Radio P4 and 14 aid and children's rights organizations, of which Erikshjälpen is one. The starting point for Världens Barn is the right of all children to health, school and security.
