JABAR EKSPRES – International Charity Day, celebrated every September 5th, is a significant moment in the global calendar. This day inspires us all to do good and contribute to those in need.
It is a day when individuals, organizations, and communities worldwide come together to celebrate the spirit of kindness and humanity. On September 5th, the United Nations officially designated this day as an opportunity to assist others through acts of sharing.
Meanwhile, the inspirational figure behind International Charity Day is Mother Teresa. Born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, her date of passing became the commemoration for this day. In 1950, she founded the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India, gaining fame for her service to the poor, sick, and orphaned.

While carrying out her mission, she led the expansion of the Missionaries of Charity in India and beyond, always prioritizing helping the less fortunate. She became an icon of world peace.
Subsequently, the United Nations issued a resolution as a tribute to her work, making the day of her passing a worldwide day of humanity.
On this day, we reflect on the importance of sharing with others, promoting social awareness, and helping those less fortunate. International Charity Day reminds us of our moral responsibility to aid those in need and that every act of kindness, no matter how small, can have a significant impact.
One of the most crucial aspects of International Charity Day is awareness of various social issues worldwide. It is an opportunity for all of us to learn more about social issues such as poverty, hunger, inequality, and the environment. With a better understanding of these issues, we can work together to find sustainable solutions.
Furthermore, International Charity Day also promotes philanthropy and fundraising for charitable causes. Many non-profit organizations and individuals seize this opportunity to gather the necessary funds for their charitable projects. It is a good time to donate to the organizations you support or plan your own charitable project.
