Världens Barn campaign raises over 52 million SEK in Sweden

The Världens Barn autumn campaign has raised 52,313,411 SEK to support children's rights. The fundraising effort, which concluded its televised gala on October 3, involved participation from schools, associations, companies, and private individuals across Sweden.

Organized through SVT and Sveriges Radio P4, the campaign included digital fundraising initiatives, with 1,389 digital collection boxes established. Additionally, over 500 schools and preschools participated in the annual school campaign. The funds are intended to assist children affected by conflict, hunger, and poverty in regions including Colombia, Sudan, and Namibia.

Kristina Henschen, Secretary General for Radiohjälpen, stated that the high level of engagement demonstrates a collective desire in Sweden to make a difference for children in need. While the main televised events have concluded, the fundraising efforts will continue throughout the year.
