School-satchel collection: A heart for Carinthia's children in need!
In Carinthia, a new fundraising campaign causes a sensation: The initiative "Lobby for Children - Children's Rescue Service Carinthia" started to support low -income families in the start of school. The school satchel collected should be passed on to needy children unbureaucratically. Especially single parents and families with low incomes face serious financial challenges in the start of school. That is why it is important to breathe new life into old, but still well -preserved satchel.
The donations can be submitted in the social service of the Carinthia relief organization in Klagenfurt or in all district offices. Thanks to the initiative, these satchels can be picked up free of charge and easily by families as soon as they are available in August. A nice addition: Anyone who gives a used donation when buying a new satchel receives a 20 percent discount from BündoHandel GmbH. This is how the action combines creative action with real social commitment.
the start of school as a burden for many families
A look at the national borders shows that in other parts of Austria, such as Vienna, families suffer from the financial burden of the school start. According to Caritas, every fifth child in Austria lives in poverty or is threatened with exclusion. Caritas director Klaus Schwertner emphasizes that many families have to dig deep into their pockets in order to buy the required school articles. These can easily cost up to 290 euros for a complete school bag set. In addition to school material supply, parents often have to pay for tutoring and school trips, which further increases the burden.
In response to this, Caritas has launched a school start campaign that offers needy families in need of school articles, such as school bags and painting boxes. This action runs as long as the stock lasts. In addition, the Youngcaritas calls for a school collection that takes place on August 29 in the Caritas shop so that even more students can enjoy the collected school matters.Diverse support for needy children
The efforts to combat child poverty go beyond school articles. Volkshilfe offers various support programs that are tailored to the needs of children and their families affected by poverty. This includes the Volkshilfe Fund "Learning. Made", which offers help for school-related editions. In this way, helpful families can support for tutoring, technical equipment or extra -curricular activities 받을.
In addition, the project "Together against child poverty" offers social consultations. Social workers are available here to support families in applications and to organize the necessary support. This comprehensive offer is funded by the Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection in order to give affected families a perspective through empowerment.
The solidarity and helpfulness of the communities can be clearly seen in these various initiatives. A small satchel can be of great help and make sure that no child is left behind at the start of school. It is a win-win situation for everyone involved: children are better equipped, and donors can make a valuable contribution through easy action.
