The International Day of Charity aims to raise the awareness of individuals, non-governmental organizations and stakeholders around the world to support others through charitable and volunteer activities. The United Nations General Assembly declared September 5 as the International Day of Charity in 2012, to promote efforts to address humanitarian challenges at various levels.
On this day, everyone celebrates the spirit of giving and solidarity as individuals, charitable, humanitarian and volunteer institutions are encouraged to participate actively in achieving their development goals at the local, national, regional and international levels. The International Day of Charity seeks to eradicate poverty in all its forms, including extreme poverty, which is a global challenge that requires concerted efforts to achieve sustainable development.
The United Nations has adopted the Sustainable Development Agenda to promote the spirit of global solidarity, with a primary focus on meeting the needs of the most vulnerable and poorest groups in societies, from supporting micro-enterprises to cooperatives and multinational companies.

* Planting trees to promote a sustainable environment.
