International Day of Charity is observed annually on the 5th of September, encouraging people worldwide to support charitable causes and make a positive impact. Established by the United Nations in 2012, this day honours the work of individuals and organisations that contribute to alleviating poverty, hunger, and suffering. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of charity in promoting global solidarity, social cohesion, and sustainable development.

On International Day of Charity, people are encouraged to donate their time, resources, or skills to help those in need. Charitable activities might include volunteering at a local organisation, donating to a cause, or simply spreading awareness about important social issues. This day also highlights the critical role that charities and non-governmental organisations play in addressing global challenges and improving lives.
