More details about the children and the Campaign

The “Slippers for those without them” campaign is a charity action organized by the “Casa Providenței” Charity Foundation during the Christmas holiday. This aims to help children from needy families in rural localities. The beneficiaries are children aged between 7 and 12 years old, from socially vulnerable families (families with many children, single parents, with parents without a job or alcoholics) from the districts of the Republic Moldova. These children are deprived of the opportunity to regularly attend school, a decisive moment in their personal formation, due to the poor financial situation of the family, including the lack of appropriate footwear for the cold and rainy season, when this footwear is absolutely necessary for driving on the country roads.

Thus the campaign “Slippers for those without them” comes with a double mission in support of these children. On the one hand the kids get good quality footwear that their parents would otherwise have been almost unable to purchase. On the other hand, slippers come in the form of a gift from Santa Claus during the most awaited and beloved period of childhood, Christmas. Thus, the handing out of slippers is not limited to a formal act, but together with a story day organized for children by the Foundation’s volunteers, when they can enjoy games, creative activities, dances, songs and other gifts intended to make you feel the fullness of joy the celebration of the Nativity.
