At Hungary’s initiative, the UN General Assembly designated 5 September as the International Day of Charity, to be celebrated annually around the world.
Charity plays an important role in alleviating human suffering within and among nations. The work done by charity organizations and individuals, either through volunteering or donations, will be crucial in making the new Sustainable Development Agenda successful. The international day serves as an opportunity for all stakeholders to increase public support for charity through awareness raising activities.
As part of this year’s commemoration, UN Radio made an interview with the Permanent Mission of Hungary to discuss the significance of charity in the UN’s work.
