We support Danmarks Indsamling 3. February 2024

Danmarks Indsamling is the united Danish appeal for funds.

Once a year, 12 humanitarian organizations and Danmarks Radio (DR) come together to help people in some of the world’s poorest countries reach some of the UN’s global goals.

Since 2014, Danmarks Indsamling has targeted all the countries that appear on the OECD list of the world’s poorest countries. This means that the participating organizations have the opportunity to launch development projects in e.g. Latin America and Southeast Asia. Along with Africa, these countries house some of the world’s most vulnerable populations.

Danmarks Indsamling make an enormous effort in the world’s poorest areas, where the need is the greatest. Each year, the organizations organize 12 projects within a given field, which Denmark and Danmarks Indsamling unite to focus on.

HELP THE WORLD'S HUNGRY CHILDREN

Millions of innocent children in the world’s poorest countries are starving. Desperation grows day by day. It is unbearable to witness, but if we close our eyes, the consequences can be fatal.

The causes of the world hunger disaster are complex. In the Horn of Africa, the worst drought in 40 years is raging. In several places, climate change threatens and creates floods and cyclones. Families who already live in extreme poverty have lost their livelihoods. Many are forced to flee. Now they have nothing.

The global food crisis has worsened the situation and made it difficult for the most vulnerable families to provide food for their children. If the children get food at all, they are not getting the food they need. Both circumstances that will cost lives. Right now, 13.6 million children under the age of five are so hungry that they are in acute danger of dying.

The consequences are so severe that the poorest part of the world will be affected for decades to come. Fortunately, there is much we can do to help if we stand together. This is what this year’s Danmarks Indsamling is all about.
