To help Syrian children in need, BRIGITTE and Save the Children started the campaign “A scarf for life” in 2014 with our support. In recent years the campaign has been a complete success - to date, well over 1.7 million euros have been donated!
In 2019 alone, around 25,000 wool packages and over 4,000 ready-knitted scarves were sold, so that, including direct donations, a total of over 380,000 euros came together - the absolute record compared to previous years.
HOW DO WE HELP WITH A SCARF?
From each scarf, 10 euros are donated to Save the Children aid projects for children who have fled within Syria or to neighboring countries. This enabled them to set up educational institutions in Lebanon, for example, where children can safely learn for their future.
PARTICIPATE!
The Syrian children in need urgently need our support, not only to survive, but also to be able to develop as best as possible. Every child deserves a Chance!
