The International Day of Charity takes place on September 05, 2025. It was established by the United Nations in 2012 and has been observed annually since 2013. The date was chosen to commemorate the anniversary of the death of Mother Teresa, who was known for her humanitarian work.
The purpose of the day is to raise awareness and provide a common platform for charitable activities around the world. It promotes efforts by individuals, communities and organizations to support those in need through voluntary and philanthropic actions.
The International Day of Charity highlights the importance of charitable work in reducing humanitarian crises and addressing poverty, especially in vulnerable communities. The United Nations encourages active participation from governments, NGOs and the private sector in supporting global solidarity.
